Default Inbox E-mails off topic

"Fishnut" wrote in message ...
I deleted my E=mail address, but I could not send NG replies,
afterwards. I hope Bill Gates manages to find a solution soon.


Bill Gates will not help you agains e-mail address collector
robots lurking newsgroups everyday...
There are two methods of fighting with spam coming this way:
1. add spam filter into your e-mail address, something like

2. use free web based email service just for newsgroups
best are hotmial.com, yahoo.com etc... other e-mail
addresses you got from ISP use ONLY for private
messages, this way you limit spam mixed with important
letters on your "good" account.

1st method is not as good as the second - address collector
scripts are getting better in removing anti-spam inserts every
day so it will not help adding "nospam" because filter will
cut is as well and spam your inbox. Other than that, you anoy
newsgroup users who try to contact you by replying to you
just to find out the letter bounced back as non-delivery...
Sometimes it does not even bounce back and you are misled
thinking somebody ignores you when your recipient never
received your email.
I am using 2nd method personally - I get over 200 spam
e-mails every day on my polbox.com account but my real
e-mail account is pretty clear. Occasionally I scan polbox
account for some newsgroup related letters but there is
always a chance I miss it between 200 offers of viagra ;-)

If anybody knows 3rd, better method fighting with spam
- please let me know...
