I remember a site where I used an email address of the form '$site-name$@xxxxxxx.xx'. They send me an email, where the email has 'site-name@xxxxxxx.xx' in the 'To:' header. But the envelop to was '$site-name@xxxxxxx.xx'. Of course, that bounced. It bounced to 'info@xxxxxxxxx.xxx', conforming the headers in the email. That address didn't exist, so it bounced back to my site. Where the email finally did end up in my mailbox, as I'm postmaster. The content of the email was the biggest surprise. That mentioned the email address I had given. Correctly. How they managed to write code that extracts three different, of which two invalid ones, email addresses from the one given is something I still have problems believing.
