MP> Yes. The spammers usually use software programs to pick up email
MP> addresses in various newsgroups. Many ISPs allow for posting under a

MP> the body of the message.
MP> I always send a copy of the spam to postmaster@ISP.XXX. I never get a

Mark --> I have seen people post their email address like this:
mark.probert.999@juno.com
In the body of the message, they would say to delete 999
before sending the reply.
