qdated
WARNING!
Dated addresses created with qdated-0.52 and earlier are incompatible with this
version. The easiest way to deal with this is not to send any mail with dated
addresses until all of the dated addresses you've used have expired (by
default, this will take one week), and then upgrade to qdated-0.53.
How to install qdated
Changes from previous versions
The qdated-makekey program

What is it?
qdated is a set of programs that create and verify timestamped e-mail
addresses. These addresses expire after a user-configurable period of time.
After an address has expired, any mail sent to that address will bounce. Any
attempt to alter the address (for example by changing the timestamp) will
render it invalid.
Expiring addresses are useful for people who post messages to newsgroups or
mailing lists or in other public places. Because the addresses have a limited
lifetime, they can't be abused by spammers (not for very long, anyway).
qdated is designed to be used with qmail.
Mailing list
There's a mailing list for qdated at
qdated@list.palomine.net.
To subscribe, send a blank message to
qdated-subscribe@list.palomine.net.
I expect the list to be very low-volume (perhaps even no-volume), but I'll make
any announcements about new versions and so forth there.
