OE Tools>Accounts>[news account]>Properties>Email address & Reply to Address
You may enter anything you want in either field. Neither must be a
legitimate address. If you choose to use a legitimate address in either,
you should "munge" both the name and domain parts (e.g.,
(e-mail address removed)).

To help avoid receiving unwanted messages (spam) in your regular e-mail
account, you may not want to include your regular e-mail address when you
post a question or reply to a post in a discussion group.
Use a modified email address
Use a different version of your e-mail address that others will understand,
but that spam tools can't automatically pick up and add to their mailing
list
For example, if your actual e-mail address is "(e-mail address removed)", use
"emailname(removethis)@account.com" as your modified e-mail address. In this
case, the spam tools will send mail to an invalid e-mail address, and others
will know to exclude the "(removethis)" when they send you e-mail.
When you post a question or reply to a discussion group, just enter your
modified e-mail address in the appropriate box.
Use a secondary e-mail account
Set up or use an e-mail account, such as a Hotmail account, that is separate
from your primary account for posting to discussion groups. When you post a
question or reply to a discussion group, use your Hotmail account as your
e-mail address.
