can't someone do something about the web crawers on
newsgroups, i got 20 spams in a few hours, spoofs from
ms.i think some are trojans at least.
 
It has nothing to do with posted in any newsgroups. If you dont wish to get
spam when posting in newsgroups put something like REMOVE or NOSPAM in your
address. everyone is getting these emails.

Microsoft NEVER sends Email with attachments.

i guess it must be a coincidence then, this is the first
place i've used this e-mail address, ya its web based,
but i havn't given it out before. because everyone gets
them, that makes it right. block the webbots. please.
 
Using a phony email address can be done for this group which I view with the
outlook newsreader. Problem is I like to monitor groups using google which
requires a valid email address. My isp doesn't provide a news reader server
(or whatever the correct term is).
