Dodo -
That's like trying to remove pee from the swimming pool. You'll have to just start using a dummy address now, and hope you don't get much more spam. After five years of near spamless posting, I've had to doctor my own email address. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Doh Dohdoh wrote: Any way to remove a post once it's been posted here?

...simple.. empty the pool, then re-fill it!
Some kind soul, the moderator of this forum perhaps might suggest to their superiors at Microsoft an action plan for masking all email addresses posted.. in fact why even post them?

any consolation i'm in the same boat - all the spams come
from microsoft-looking addresses, and are about 142k each. -----Original Message----- ...simple.. empty the pool, then re-fill it!

I'm in the same boat with you all. On busy days, up to
250 e-mails reach me all containing the famous W32 worm virus. I am lucky that my provider (skynet in Belgium) is actually intercepting all infected attachements before it reaches my in-box, so all I get is short messages from the provider notifying me of the receipt of the message. But still, it's a few hundred notifications per day. Microsoft has an e-mail address available to its customers to report abuse of their company name in these types of activities. This address is ". All I can suggest is that we massively start sending requests to that e-mail address to request the masking functionality on all of the newsgroups (I got my problem on the Belgian version of this newsgroup ...). I have the experience that they do read and respond to the messages on that e-mail address ... Shall we give it a try ? -----Original Message----- any consolation i'm in the same boat - all the spams come from microsoft-looking addresses, and are about 142k each. -----Original Message----- ...simple.. empty the pool, then re-fill it!
