The spam is a result of posting to the newsgroups using your real e-mail
address. I posted a car for sale on alt.autos yesterday and used my
alternate e-mail address. I received 50 spam messages supposedly from
Microsoft. I am using a Macintosh G-4 which means Microsoft would have
no reason to send me anything.

The address shown on this message is my alternate address. I change the
number in the address ever month to a different digit in a random order.

"Lynn Tegrity"
