Yes, but something has to assign that - a service running on the same
computer, it doesn't magically happen by itself.  Otherwise, when there
isn't such a service to do that, the interface doesn't come up with any
IP.  ZeroConf is one of the things that can do that.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
