As an aside, instead of post@, posterous should use a guid for each blog. e.g.

B566EA61026F474BA8ADB877FF765087@postereous.com

If you're on another device just email whoami@postereous.com and it responds with with your GUID post address. Of course email is hardly confidential, and it would be sent in the clear, but it's a heck of a lot more powerful than simply looking at a from address.

No, since the reply goes back to the real address.


How embarrassing for you. How exactly would the email go to the forger if they are spoofing YOUR email address. Coffee in the morning, gin at night. Never switch the two.


People can't always be right, eh?

I was mistaken. You're right, I haven't had my coffee yet.


I like that better than "What are you smoking?" Still overly rude, though.
