This is a good idea. Two problems which you may be able to address:
1) Bots shouldn't have power of attorney. They would need my private key,
which probably requires interaction with me.
2) The bot would need a list of alias->address, so that
`e+jays' could be converted to `jays-at-panix.com',
it would be inconvenient for Reply situations, I'd have to replace
'jays-at-panix.com' with 'e+jays' in the header before sending.
Now, on my system all mail is moved by localhost, and then
moves on via ssh to mail.dadadada.net and only then is is released
to the internet. All of my mail therefore always appears to
come from the same host, regardless of where I physically am.
So either of the two exims along the way could intervene as bots
and recognize jays-at-panix.com directly.... Hm.. that has other problems.
