Has anyone been a victim of spamming only to be blamed for being the one
sending the spam?  My provider says they have gotten several reports that I
have been spamming other people and I know I haven't.  Has anyone had a
similar situation?  It seems that as a result of someone elses actions, I
have been barred from being able to post to several newsgroups.  I have
certainly replied to those who spam me to tell them to take me off their
mailing lists, but I certainly do not spam other people.  Is it possible
that when you reply to the messages that someone can then use your e-mail
address to get away with the crime.  So, far I have received messages from
people claiming I spammed them when I didn't do it.
