Just an idle comment on those who use invalid.com for e-mail addresses:
invalid.com is a legit e-mail address; try it.
Using it would be violating your tos and/or aup by your ISP for
impersonation.
It's also for sale: But if you like being associated with the following:
-----------
[Querying whois.verisign-grs.com]
[Redirected to whois.networksolutions.com]
[Querying whois.networksolutions.com]
[whois.networksolutions.com]

Go ahead and keep using it. I'd think twice about associating myself
with them, though.
My gosh dolts, use an actual non-existant address and check it out! Or
better yet, use one of the thousands of addresses set up for just that
purpose; they're all over the place and many from reputable company
sources, too. Beware the scammers though, as in all things internet.
I haven't looked in years, but heypete.com used to have a lot of them
available, and spamcop.NET maintains a couple also. As do many other
places, or even create your own freebie and just never use the account.
