    Isn't it also helpful to add some extra characters or numbers to that so that people (or spammers) won't easily guess your alias? One example could be the date you gave the alias to someone or some random set of words or numbers or both added to it. Like: foobar+slashdot20040224@mydomain.com.

    and how would you know what the Feds' IPs are? They could be on ANY ISP and do their investigation from it. That is why PeerGuardian sounds more like a joke than anything.

    That is a very good point you brought up. If someone is infected with an unknown virus that no antivirus company knows of on how to detect (since they may have no sample of the virus), one's scanner might come up "clean" on every scan after every update. The only real way to really be sure is to verify file hashes from read-only, bootable media against a list of hashes that you are 100% sure are of clean files and check it against your system regularly and update the hashes as you add trusted software or install security patches.

    Isn't "man -k keyword" easier to remember than "apropos" even though both do exactly the same thing?
