Does anyone know if this trich works?

Supposedly you put a phony e-mail address as the top entry in your Outlook address book (such as #$@#$.123). If a virus attempts to send itself to everyone in your address book, it supposedly hits this unsendable address first and gets hung up, thus preventing the propagation at least (plus letting you know that the attempt was made.)

Thanks
