I disagree. I want to send the list to ppl.
A worthless list to yourself. An even more worthless list to anyone
that doesn't experience your same history of spam. Just write up a
script to generate a random list of usernames and domains to slap
together. It's the same procedure used by spammers. I pity the folks
that believe you have a clue about spam filtering. So just how are you
going to stop a spammer from using your e-mail address? Are you going
to add yourself to your blocklist and then send to all these "ppl" to
which you are pretending to have anti-spam expertise? (rolls eyes)
Oh, I get it now. Another Google Grouper. Should've figured. (rolls
eyes again)
Stick to your *.politics groups and get a real anti-spam solution.
Blocklists of e-mail addresses don't work.
I just want to export the blocked senders list. If you know how great
if not your as ignorant as me in the matter.
You forgot that you asked 2 questions in your post? Read your original
post after the "Also". WHAT is your concept of a "Usenet address" if
different than an e-mail address? Outlook doesn't do Usenet (i.e.,
Outlook has not and never will support NNTP to do newsgroups). You
aren't in Outlook when doing newsgroups. You're a Google Grouper, and
Outlook isn't a web browser.
If (e-mail address removed) is your true e-mail address, you chose to expose
it in your newsgroup posts. Spambots harvest e-mail addresses from
newsgroup posts. They download the headers because it is quick and then
parse out e-mail addresses (rare few will bother downloading the bodies
of the posts which would take far more time). Since the spammer or
their zombies are fabricating e-mail addresses in the return-path
headers of the spam they send out, there's no point in trying to block
on a fixed list of e-mail addresses that you happen to cull from
newsgroups. You've already exposed your e-mail address in newsgroups
rather than munge it or use a bogus one. You can't undo that mistake
due to NNTP servers and Google archiving your posts (there is a
procedure to cancel [delete] your Google Groups post but that won't
delete it from all the other NNTP servers to which your post got
propagated). If it's a freebie Yahoo account, abandon it and create a
new one, and then munge it (munge the domain first), or use a bogus one
(but use a domain that isn't registered), or use an invalid one
(<user>@example.com or <user>@<domain>.invalid).
