And: The system can exchange *all* email-adresses with a gmame.org
adress, which will be forwarded to the original adress:

 Mail Delivery
 Any mail sent to an address like larsi=smP1P7uqpqc at public.gmane.org will
 undergo a challenge/response scheme courtesy of TMDA. After the sender has
 verified that she exists, the address will be decrypted, and the message
 will be forwarded to the real recipient.

 In fact, feel free to use your public.gmane.org address anywhere. While it's
 difficult for me to promise that your encrypted address will work forever, I
 have no plans for limiting the use of these addresses.

I think it solves all problems we had with a Mail-News gateway (if operated
with mail-adress-encryption turned on). IMHO.
