Side Note, I have shared this idea here in the past, but it hasn't
resurfaced in some time.

I also added a totally made up address should this ever happen.
If I were to get a bounced back notice to this totally fake address
I would know to look for an intrusion in my computer that might
have been guilty of using my address book.
I also added my own email address as a form of backup to that
process. :-)
