my most sincere apologies
properties of your newsgroup account where you set up the e-mail address and reply-to address. Add some extra characters to these e-mail addy's to ensure that a harvester that collects will be scooping up an invalid e-mail address...example: someone@NO SPAMsomewhere.HEREcom. This *may* not be possible, it depends on the ISP, not the browser. Some notes: Important to mung the address to the right of the at sign, since any spam finds no such server. Next, some / most spamware can search for and remove "spam" or other common words from a link. What I had to do after being autospammed - set up two new addresses. My ISP only allows people with valid accounts to send or recieve messages. I use one as a throwaway. Hate to do it, because the spammers will eventually harvest it and the server will have to turn the messages away. But I tried.... My second address, in my sig, is spelled out. It is a valid address, it works, but it is NEVER put on the web in it's full form. Unfortunately, it's just a matter of time till somebody's infected computer will start to spam me. Just like atomic decay. I would NOT use a reply-to address in my messages, unless you want that address being spammed as well. |
