How do you cloak your ISP email NORMAL address when you are replying to emails that have been forwarded to your ISP mailbox. Everybody talks about how to protect from inbound SPAM but I have not seen anything on what you can do to cloak outgoing messages.

Sounds like a lot of work compared to spamgourmet.com or similar sites.
Plus with spamgourmet, you can limit the number of emails sent, and stop guessing out right by adding a secret word that you can change periodically.
ie: if I signup as ‘userx’
and want to provide a email to contact me, but limit the number of times one can contact me to 5 I would just input an address such as blog.5.userx@spamgourmet.com in the email field (rather than having to log in and configure an account)

if spammers figured out this generation technique, then I could start appending a secret watch word that periodically changes. all currently active addresses would remain active, but no new addresses could be activated with out matching the current secret word. Further the word can be just a word part, ie:
sercet.blog.5.userx@spamgourmet.com
and blogsecret.5.userx@spamgourmet.com would both work.

More over, there is a new feature that allows one to substitute letters (based on their position in the alphabet) in place of the number so:
blog.e.userx@spamgourmet
allows 5 emails as before.

Finally, any address is limited to a max of 20 so after the letter ‘t’ all the letters = 20. If you want more than 20 messages for a particular address, you can log into spamgourmet and “refill” the number of messages left “up to 20″ or you can add the email address to your “trusted sender” list. in which case you will continue to receive email from them until you turn them off.

Kooky but cool gmail spamguard idea

I came across a gripe that topix forums don’t support plus signs in their email addrs in my daily topix vanity scan… John Reinke has come up with a way of forwarding gmail accounts to each other with disposable suffixes…
