Re: [OT] inundated by Swen / Gibe emails

[Adam Hardy]

OK, so I see two solutions to this:

(1) start filtering - which I don't like since it will still download 
them and at 125kB a time, that's a waste of bandwidth, and I don't 
really want to get involved with one of those pop3-cleaner-filters.

(2) somehow find a way of disguising my email address on the newsgroup 
without stopping the listserver from mailing me the traffic.

Any suggestions as to how to do 2 would be great.

Also I'd appreciate confirmation from a couple more people that they are 
getting this virus traffic due to the newsgroup.


Thanks
Adam
