So I see a lot of legitimate postings to this group using the above  
From: but then again I also see spammers using it to cover their tracks.

So just exactly what is removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid and why is  
it being used?

Please reconsider it’s use as it’s much harder to blacklist spammers  
if they are using legimate email addresses.

Those are the posts made from [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/)

It’s kinda sad that many people think we’re just a BBS/forum and not  
mailing list 🙂
