Re: [AGA Contest] Stupid email tricks

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

It's OK to spoof the showcase@ e-mail address, but it's not OK to make
Reply-To the aga-contest address.  The e-mail list is closed, and any
replies from folks not on the list will bounce.  No harm done, just don't
do that on the next one.  Use the showcase@ address for the Reply-To.

Thanks
