Hate to sound "out of step" but I'm not really sure what mean.
Could you explain in a little more detail.

Thanks

    If you just use webmaster@domain.com on your webpage, it will get harvested sooner or later. Even if it is harvested once, it will be sold over and over again, and the e-mail going to webmaster@domain.com is basically junk. If you generate a unique address for each visitor, if the address akhjasio@domain.com is harvested once and sold over and over, you can simply block that one address, and visitors you wrote down your address weeks ago will still have a non-blocked address. If by some chance the harvester and another visitor went to your web site using the same IP address, there's only a 1 in 256 chance that they'll get the same generated address. If you're still unsure about something, let me know what's not clear and I'll explain some more.
      Cool. Nice code... and not a bad idea.
