I'm getting a new email address and phasing out an old one. I wanted to use the auto-respond feature of my email account to tell me people of my new account. The problem?
I get tons of spam at that account, and almost none at the new account. If I include my address in the autorespond, will the spammers get it? Or do they not monitor the email address in the "from" line?
If they do monitor it, can doing the address remove-this-to-avoid-spam-and-replace-with-at-sign domain change-this-to-a-period com trick work? They don't go through this by hand, do they?

On a more serious note, yeah, do the dagonee at domain dot com will fix your problem. No, when they're dealing with millions of email addies, and thousands of replies to their spam, they don't have time to go reading every single email they receive. They're just happy to receive confirmation that the email addy is valid so they can continue spamming you with more crap.
