My personal point of view:

I've decided to stop answering any article on Usenet coming from a mangled
address (à la @foo.NOSPAMcom).

I use mutt for mail which is pretty smart with mailing lists so this kind
of mangling is less a hassle but I'd hate to see bad addresses.  I'm
already fed up with people doing this on Usenet.

Having a proprely configured sendmail with filters and refusing to be a
relay for anyone is IMO a much better solution than mangled addresses.

procmail takes care of the rest.
