Default How do I block my email from appearing on messages?

I'm getting so much 'bad' mail of late and the only thing I can put it

down
to is that my email goes out to newsgroups; no-one else.

It would be great to know of ways around this.


Go to your news set-up. Change your "reply-to" address to something
fictitious in the right format. Like , for
example.

The problem for you is that the spam-bots have already stripped your
address. The number of spammers with your address will now increase
exponentially. The only way to fix this is to do what I do. Ask your ISP to
change your e-mail address either permanently or temporarily. Send an e-mail
to everyone in your address book telling them of your new address. The SPAM
will bounce and they will eventually go away.
