Warning! I get spam mail after post here :-(

[S.L.]

Last time I post question to here is 12 hours ago. This morning I opened my
mail box. It full with spam mail. I don't know how Swen virus work. But look
like it can get email address from this newsgroups. Very bad guy who develop
virus. I have to change email address again in a few week.

To anyone who post to this newsgroups or any other place, better not to send
the actual email address.

Bad Bad Bad Virus. I hate developers. They have a lot of time in thier life
but they use it in negative.

Posting with a real return email address has caused spam for as long as I
can remember. Always post with a munged email address if you don't want
spam. It is not all developers who create viruses, only a few miscreants who
think it's fun. As they are caught, they are usually jailed.

Since the groups are used by naive posters, MS ought to
replace the senders address in the header of all
messages held on their new servers. It would be
part of the service. People who want to include
a mail address can include it in the body of the
message.
