This is completly off topic, I apologize for that, but since you
all have the same problem maybe someone can help me.
Everytime I make a post to the news some spamers get my email
and send lots of junk stuff to my mailbox.
I use TIN (UNIX) and I still couldn't find a way of faking my
"From:" adress as a way to stop this. Several acount have already been
canceled 'cause I have the habit of forwarding all that unsolicited
mail to their respective postmasters, but it is getting to be to much
to do for each and every of those mails I receive.
Can anyone give me an hint to solve this?
thank you
