The above specifically states that a falsified from field is
prohibited.

If you agree with Primenet policy, then stop forging your email
address in the "From" field of your posts. I remember when this was
forbidden around here, and I think the rules should be enforced.
One can not go around selectively deciding which portion of the rules
apply to them, since this just creates chaos.

If you don't like spam, there are options available to you. 1) Don't
post to Usenet. 2) Fight back against the spammers by complaining to
their providers. Burying your head in the sand doesn't help solve the
problem. 3) Give procmail a try, with the correct filters, you never
have to look at what you don't want to see again. Add something for
"make money" or "money" and these emails will never appear again.
