The bad first address trick may have worked on some viruses in the past but it is by no means foolproof. It does offer one advantage though, if a virus is sending itself out from your machine using your e-mail address then you should recieve an "invalid address response" when the message is sent to the bad address. This is a definite warning sign you need to scan your machine.
