Since I'm now getting between two and three hundred emails a day, I'm moving! I can be found now at ladylove@knology.net. Gwen > Since I'm now getting between two and three hundred emails a day, I'm > moving! I can be found now at > ladylove@knology.net. Out of curiosity, Gwen....why are you getting 2-300 emails a day? ~katelyn~ Not to override her, but Gwen has been posting to Usenet with valid addy and name for years. I slipped once, 6 yrs. ago, and posted with my actual identifiers, and I *still* get 30+ spams a day at that particular address. (I learned rapidly, and allowed only a single post to propagate.) The headers change, over time -- long time -- but the spam never stops. That's using MailWasher with the bounce feature on. Spammers are the dregs of humanity. Thank you, Katie, for providing me with this opportunity to express my true emotions. <g> Good luck to you in your caregiving, and I really sincerely mean that. -- Deborah > Not to override her, but Gwen has been posting to Usenet with valid addy > and name for years.

I know we had to unsubscribe from the news server, then resubscribe to it somehow with the fake addy. Unfortunately I am not computer savvy enough to remember exactly how we did it. It was a while ago too... Perhaps someone might be able to help her better than I could?

Perhaps someone might be able > to help her better than I could? ============================= All you have to do is open OE and go to...Tools / Accounts / News tab... Select the server you wish to change the e-mail address for / Properties button / General tab... Enter any made up address you like in the E-mail Address field / Apply / OK. (this is the one that shows in your headers) If nothing else...just add some additional letters to the real address: If your actual address was tom@spot.net change it to: tomNO@SPAMspot.net If you use more than one server for newsgroups....you'll have to do this for each one. -- John Inzer thanks John.

Hi John, It is so nice to know you still read here now and then! Best to you and yours!

I'm glad you still contribute, I always read your messages. Cheers, SignatureJohn Inzer Katelyn, most of them are spam.

Better to put, for example, "my new email address is ladylove at knology dot net". That way its more difficult for automated programs which trawl the net looking for addresses to spam, to pick your address up. SignatureTumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com > Since I'm now getting between two and three hundred emails a day, I'm > moving! I can be found now at gwen, you just guaranteed that every spammer in the world got your new address. if you don't want spam, don't use your real email address in newsgroups. >gwen, you just guaranteed that every spammer in the world got >your new address. if you don't want spam, don't use your real >email address in newsgroups. I've been posting my address since 1998 and I don't get that amount of spam.... Have you tried the free MailWasher software? anthony shipley Run away with me; I can make you unhappy. |
