OT - Newsgroup Access

I am so happy. I finally figured out how to get my at-home computer to play
nice with the newsgroup server, so now I can read/post from home!!! And I
did it all by myself. I'm a wizard, yes? grin

well done indeed, TerriLee Wizard, lol. .
fwiw, its best to have the 'remove' part After the @ making it a totally
bogus isp. as it is will bounce maybe but what if there really is someone
else with that name as their addy...
so make it a bogus isp, much better all around.
we dont want any nasty harvesters bugging you or anyone else now do we.
cheers from a chilly autumn morning in the south pacific.

Congradulations! I live with a computer nerd (programmer) and he handles
most of the computer issues. I don't know what I would do without him.

You make a good point. However, I've tried several things to munge the addy,
and only adding before the @ will let me send. I guess earthlink's server
is picky, or something. I get plenty of spam anyway, and I hope I'm not
causing someone who really might have the &cats in their addy any grief.

Sometimes you can change just the "reply to" address, depending on what
you use for a mail program and/or newsreader. Then you use your real
address to send stuff out through your ISP but what people see on the
other side is the munged address from the "reply to" field. If you don't
specify "reply to" then whatever address you send from is used.

I actually send from my real address at comcast.net but my reply to
address is comcrap.net.

As for getting spam, I swear by Mailwasher (http://www.firetrust.com/
NAYY). There is a paid version that has lots of bells and whistles but
there is also a free version that works just fine thenkyewverramuch.

I use earthlink, too, TerriLee. My address is munged on *both* sides of
the @ -- perhaps it's just being stubborn for a day or two and will let
you change it later.
