Ask HN: Why do HN users still obscure their e-mail addresses?

Glad to know I'm not alone.

It seems there's a spammer who's latched onto my domain. They're sending out emails to thousands of people from <some random alphanumeric string>@<my domain>. Every email sent to my domain ends up in my inbox so I get all the bounces.

I've mitigated this somewhat by setting up SPF on my domain. I use Google Apps so this article was handy: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1...

Thanks for the link! I've reconfigured my domains DNS, if this works I am forever in your debt. I'll pass this on to a friend who also has the same issue, hopefully I can stop wasting my time getting rid of all this spam now.
