I'm following up on this article publicly, because it's becoming a common
problem and many of us are experiencing the same problems.

Changing the address in the signature file is a nice backup step, but I
understand that most of the junk mail programs that browse newsgroups
picking up addresses for e-mail spam are picking the addresses from the
"From:" and "Reply-to:" headers on the articles. This is much easier than
trying to decipher random signature files. If you have any capability of
changing these two lines, you can probably cut down on your junkmail
significantly. Yours were not altered from the normal on this article.

Also be warned that some spammers are picking up this info from Web site
visits as well.
