Default Is Usnet Dying?

5.3 May I mangle my "From:" header address so that I do not get SPAM?


Same deal with the University of Berlin server I was talking about a bit
ago. That sounds like maybe the same thing by a different name. (Maybe
they've changed the name.)

That one in particular is what I had in mind when I said "very reasonable
rules."

I've been on usenet for 10 years now, and I have never used a fake address.
Right choice for me, and no, I'm not preaching, but abiding by that rule
has never bothered me.

They *will* dump you if they catch you breaking that rule. I think they'll
warn you first.
