Well, I sympathize with the guy to some extent, but agree that using 
a name that is associated with spam will probably trigger the human 
reflex and, more to the point, may trigger a filter that sends the 
message /dev/null before anyone even sees it. I'm thinking about AOL 
in particular and about a lot of corporate mail systems in general 
that appear to be applying some pretty draconian rule sets to inbound 
mail.
