Hello Everyone, Having received an increase in spam after posting a message to a newsgroup I have been given this piece of advice: "Computer programms search posts to newsgroups for email addresses. These email addresses end up getting sent to spam mailers. If you receive spam email the chances are they got your email address from a newsgroup posting. That's why myself and many other people put nospam (i.e. [log in to unmask]) or whatever into our "reply to" email addresses to confuse the computer programs. Also a note to a human to remove it ( the "nospam.") if they are replying, is needed as well. I suggest you do likewise." You will, of course have to remove this configuration for regular mail or include the "note to human" in all mailings!! Regards Robert -- R. Walker, Fine art & Business Resources.
