I don't know.

But I do know that the RFC strongly suggests you post with a valid address,
and a lot of people out there are really pissed at the whole notion of
munging your address to avoid spam.  It makes things MUCH harder for the
usenet abuse folks when something goes wrong.

If you have a problem with spam, hiding your address will not solve the
problem, only addressing the spammers themselves will.  I have taken two
spammers to court so far, and if a few more folks did this, we would not
have a spam problem.
