Guest herbzee Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 How do I create a "no spam" address for these NG's?
Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: no spam Wherever it is in your newsgroup settings that lists your email address, change it. You're using Mozilla/5.0, so I don't know the specific steps. Make sure that the fake addy can't *possibly* be real -- don't want to use someone else's by mistake. Otherwise, just about anything can be used. I simply use "none". -- Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: no spam Yes, but in Windows, do TB or OE or Agent have the same settings? Because that's what you implied. -- Gary S.

What you are wanting to do is "munge" your e-mail address, The link below helps explain: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/net-abuse-faq/munging-address/ BTW, I learned this from previous posts! HTH Chet

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: no spam OK, I see it now. Matter of different styles. When I check to see what newsreader is being used (which I admit I should have done -- getting old), I mention that fact in my response. I try to read posts as others do, often from web-based interfaces or any number of 'repeaters", and such info is not available to them. -- Gary S.

If you want to munge your email address, do what I said: go to Tools/Account Settings, click on the account you're using for newsgroups and change it where it says "Email Address" to anything you like. -- Alias To email me, remove shoes
