I guess I don't mind this type of SPAM, however, by responding to it, I'm
encouraging the use of SPAM aimed at fellow news-group members. Next time
I'll think twice about replying to SPAM.

It's not often I get junk mail related to Fish / Aquaria tho'...
This is one of the most spam free NG's..
In most other groups I add a little something for the spammer... (See
Below).
This works a treat and it's for real too...
If you want to use it, just cut and paste it.... spammers beware...!!!!!

Contradiction? I guess it depends on the level of "training" and the
definition of "direct."
BTW, they plainly state in the message that they will not email again unless
you request more information. Very polite and professional.

Definition of Spam: any unsolicited commercial email. This definition
is usually expanded to include commercial emails sent to inappropriate
Usenet groups as well.
They obviously just used a bot to suck up all the addresses of posters
to the aquaria groups and mass-emailed them this advertisement.
Fortunately for me, I anti-spam my address, so I didn't get it. You
actually have to look in the reply-to header to see my real address,
which seems to foil the bots. You guys who got this email, and
weren't happy with that fact, should try it.
See ya,

I don't think so. You'll probably want to keep your "reply-to"
address as the real one, so if someone just hits reply to email you,
then it'll go to your real address. Also, there are some systems that
will reject emails as spam automatically if the "reply-to" address
doesn't jive with the real domain the mail came from. I found that
out the hard way a couple years ago. I'd been wondering why so many
of my emails to people from the group were never answered. I found
out from my own network admin that that was probably the problem. I'm
not sure if that is still happening, but it doesn't seem so.
I use Agent for my news reader, and I changed my main email address
within that program. That's the address that shows up on the groups
as my "from" address and is picked up by bots. There's probably a
similar way to set it within whatever program you're using.

Spam-bots will grab email addresses from the Reply-To, the From, and
the body of the email.
And, if you've ever posted without having your email addresses
mangled, it's not worth doing, since your address will have been
grabbed already anyway. If you put your live email address anywhere
(from, reply-to, or in the body), it will get found.
I personally don't worry about the spam. Many decent mail programs
have filters you can set to, to direct most of the spam directly to
the trash. I end up seeing maybe 1 spam a day, with 4 or 5 a day
going into my trash.

I have just been on to see your reefpage, you have some beautiful corals. I
have only had marines just over a year and before I changed over tanks (I
have a 20 gallon Hex) I actually got rid of a 3ft x 18 x 12 because the old
one took up too much room. Although this tank looks beautiful, I thought I
would have marine fish only, but found myself getting corals, but do not
have much floor area.
How many tanks do you have?
How long have you had marine tanks. Your tank is great!

How do you do your water changes with a 60 gallon.
