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. If theres one rule of usenet its this: your address *will* get spammed. Usenet and having a website with a publicly viewable address (as opposed to a form contact) are the two certain ways of getting that address out there. Less certain is signing up for forums etc. Most have a privacy policy and the option for your address to be invisible....but even that is not a certainty. I recommend, as Brian has, the use of mailwasher to clean out the junk from the server, so you never have to download it. I also recommend the use of aliases on your email address, and not to use your ISPs email address for snything at all. Get a free yahoo account, then go to http://dea.spamcon.com and start using disposables. shut the disposable down as soon as the spam gets to ridiculous. my own address is fake. apart from the munging, the actual ID doesnt exist and because i have not set up a catchall on my domain, its going to bounce no matter what. Why? I cannot think of a single reason for anyone from usenet to email me privately, when a post on usenet would be adequate. |
