What I'm struggling with (I don't want to speak for Nick), is this: what is the benefit of getting people to set it to a valid address that no human reads, or no human capable of acting, over null or the various null-equivalents you list? Who does that help? How? Michele said: > In fact an auto-reply would be preferable to the black holes in many > cases .. Can someone please explain why that is preferable, rather than merely equivalent? (Please don't just say "because it shows they have working e-mail". What is the value of that, if nobody's reading it?)
