Default email attack?

You must be damn lucky Pete. I get tons of spam to my e-mail address I
use as a return address when I post to newsgroups.

I use a 'throwaway', but real yahoo email address for newsgroup postings
and it works very well. Better than using a 'munged' address, and most
of the spam generated by the newsgroup postings just goes straight into
the bulk folder on yahoo. I check for mail fairly regularly just in case
anything genuine goes in, but don't use the yahoo address for any
personal mail, so that doesn't happen often. I also use the yahoo
address if I need to register for anything online that I'm not 100 per
cent sure of.
