Description Stefan.qn 2008-12-15 17:08:00 UTC

I'm owning a domain and I'm using forward all to register at a site with a unique email address ... like I did for this bugzilla. Today I've received my first spam mail to this domain -at all after 2 years- to gentooBugs@stefan-kuhn.eu. I've googled this email address and got 2 hits. It would be nice if you folks could do anything (like using a jpeg instead of an ASCII representation of my email) to prevent spammers flooding the mailboxes of innocent gentoo users ;)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Post something in gentoos bugzilla
2. wait 6 months
3. receive spam
