In trying to respond to a fellow newsgroup-er, I e-mailed instead of publicly posting. However, the seemingly legit e-mail address that is being used by this poster generated this note to me. Just a little notice to all.

Thank you for contacting news.net. Please read this message carefully:

It has become popular to use the news.net domain name in forged, illegitimate, junk mail messages, or in bogus addresses when filling out on-line forms.

Please note that *this* message is the *only* mail which will legitimately originate from the news.net domain. If you have received other mail claiming to have a news.net return address, it is a forgery.

Any address of the form [email], other than [email], is invalid. Sending to such an address will generate this message as an automatic reply.

If you have received a forgery with a news.net return address, please contact the system administrators for your site or your ISP. Using message headers and system log files, they will probably be able to trace the message back to the real originating system.

If you do need to contact news.net, send to [email].

WT I never realized news.net was a REAL domain name. I thought everyone figured it was a psuedo address to stop spamming and junk mail. I will join the AOL'ers take my punishment and then change the pseudo domain name. Sorry to cause you any embarrassment. The News Guy [email] :-)
