It's because the True E-mail address is different from the News E-mail
address. Spamblocks are allowed, but in this case the True E-mail address
isn't apparent given the spamblocked version.
On the other hand, if mail addressed to spambox@forinash.net actually gets
to your inbox, then simply put that as well into the True E-mail field.
The True E-mail field needs to be something that actually exists, and the
News E-mail field needs to be either (a) something that actually exists, or
(b) something that a human can take and munge mentally into something that
actually exists.

This would work, with the heads-up you've given.

This would work too -- but probably just try (a) since it's what you really
want.
