The message
from Rusty Hinge contains these words:

If you hit 'reply by e-mail' or whatever your newsreader says to this
post, it will bounce. If you want to reply, a working address is
provided at the bottom of my posts, as required by AUP*


You can use various filters too


* Accepted User Policy


Sorry, forgot about this one: unplugged everything because of an
approaching flashtbang weathery thing [1] and it got sent when I
reconnected everything.

You should be able to create mailboxes in your newsreader. Unless you
register them with your ISP they won't work. So, you invent an e-mail
address like and post on Usenet using it, the
spambots [2] only pick that address. As yet, they haven't been able to
access the 'Reply To' field in your header without actually opening the
post.

[1] Wot missed. :-(

[2] robots which trawl through newsgroups and harvest addresses
