Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / April 2007email address
I am now getting about 300 emails a day, mostly spam, so please change my address to lucky lady at knology dot net. Thanks. Gwen Love  Signature---------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them. >I am now getting about 300 emails a day, mostly spam, so please change my >address to > lucky lady at knology dot net. > Thanks. > Gwen Love That will be because you new email address is provided in the header of your email, which is where the spammers are harvesting it from, not from your sig. If you know how to reconfigure outlook express you need to change it there to a non real one. If your ISP insists you put a real email address in, use a disposable one from somewhere like yahoo.

Spambots are constantly trolling the newsgroups for valid addresses. SignatureJohn Inzer How do I reconfigure Outlook Express?

SignatureTumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com> Gwen it is only when you are configuring for newsgroups that it matters. You have to take out the news server, and then put it in again all new. At that point you have to put in an email address (I think), then download all the newsgroups and subscribe to those you want to read. There is a place in that process where you have to enter an email address. I use a gmail address just for that purpose. Gmail gets rid of most of the spammers for me, but it does not get rid of the ones who claim they have a million dollars waiting for me, all I have to do is give them some money first (LOL) Actually it would be good if you asked your ISP phone support to guide you through the process. But when it comes time to give your email address, don't write in the real one when you are subscribing to newsgroups. For email to my personal friends and acquaintances, of course I use my real one.

Here's all you have to do... Open Outlook Express Go to...Tools / Accounts / News tab In the Account column...left click (highlight) the server you use for newsgroups / Properties button / General tab The address you enter in the E-mail Address field on the General tab will be the address that is included in your message header. You could enter a completely bogus address like: gwen@remulac.xyz (if you choose this method...be sure you are not entering a real address that may belong to someone else) Or you could add something obvious to your current address that could be easily removed like: ladylove77NO@SPAMknology.net SignatureJohn Inzer |
