Windows Forum / Outlook Express / OE 6.x / August 2008Conceal Identity
Every post I make to newsgroups is being maliciously tracked by a certain individual. I then receive pornographic email at home. Is there a way to conceal one's identity completely (headers) when posting to a newsgroup using Outlook Express 6.0?

If you want a truly throw-away address, that you can still check, if need be, look at www.mailinator.com No... That's a... COWARDLY way to act. Use your REAL NAME... DON'T HIDE behind a PSEUDONYM such as: "Ildhund" But use a throwaway or fictitious email address in order to protect yourself from SPAM, VIRUSES, DEATH THREATS, WORMS, IDENTITY THIEVES, CHILD MOLESTERS, et alii. I know from experience. I don't trust ANYONE who won't use HIS or HER Real Name. WOMEN may prefer to use only the FIRST name... That's not desirable or preferable -- but entirely acceptable...

Ever read any of Samuel Clemens' works? You probably will have better luck find his works listed under the author, "Mark Twain". I post under a number of pseudonyms for a number of reasons (admittedly some not so upstanding). The main suggestion I would make is to pick a pseudonym to use in a group, and stick with it. If you are making reputable posts, you will build a good reputation for that "Nym". It is perfectly okay to use an email address which goes nowhere.

How can anyone as smart as you pretend to be muck up a response so? Top post one comment; leave a quote attribution in the middle, and bottom post another? Did you study to be so goofy, or were you born that way? Anyway, there are a number of good reasons for creating different "persona" for responding in different groups; and bad ones, as well. You don't need to know my "real" name; you only need to know if the persona I am using is consistent; whether consistently good, consistently right, consistently wrong, or consistently evil. What is bad is not using pseudonyms, but "morphing" to annoy the residents.

Ignorant PFK [Pimply-Faced Kid] Pogues think they can't be traced by their ISP's and profiles -- including posting style -- and many other traceable variables -- which I'm not going to talk about. Universities and employers hire folks JUST to do this sort of work -- VERY COMPUTER SAVVY people -- some are students themselves -- who know all the tricks.

Women are not the only victims of "malicious, molester loons". In one of the Spanish "alt." newsgroups that I subscribe to, one of the participants once offered $3,000 for the physical identity, location and telephone number of some guy from Valencia whose opinions were annoying him. He had a scheme to pay the anonymous informer using PayPal and everything. Maybe it was a joke, maybe not. If you want to conceal your real identity and avoid a whole slew of problems, then do so. If it gives you a macho thrill to use your real name, secure in the knowledge that you have plenty of buckshot in your ammunition closet, then do that too. But please don't stoop to calling people cowards. That is something worthy of the Vista newsgroup. If you don't trust anyone who won't use his or her real name, then you close yourself off from a large percentage of the most useful information posted here.

The irony is that "David Spencer Hines" has posted under the fake name "Julia294" (or vice versa?). If it's cowardly to do so, then he/she's a coward him/herself. But then, we knew that already. James Earle...is it becoming clear yet ? Signature...winston ms-mvp mail I use my real name because I have nothing to hide, because most hostile posters never carry their intentions beyond the keyboard and because Colorado is a "make my day law" state. I have seen some people posting though, who really shouldn't. These groups aren't so bad, but the Vista group... It's understandable, given the subject matter, but 99.99% of posts are a waste of time. Just try to get a question about Vista answered. Half the people who answer have no idea, and the rest want you to join their crusade. Sometimes, someone with a clue posts a response. Check out the flame war in rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys and alt.binaries.pictures.autos. "I'm going to send you a subpoena", "Where's my subpoena, xxxxxxxxxx?", then one of the participants found some kind of mail-bomb spammer software and all hell broke loose. He seemed like a completely normal person at first too. Don't even mention the spammers and Nigerian inheritance scams... Sometimes I upload a video to YouTube, but I haven't become anyone's "friend" yet, despite numerous offers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQA-7Yj456g Maynard has since figured out, that he can only turn the machine backwards, and that this doesn't get him any more cat food than he's going to get if he leaves it alone. Sometimes, cats are smarter than humans. Earle > Earle...is it becoming clear yet ? Earle, I wasn't referring to your specific use, but to those who claim to do similar necessarily don't. The Vista groups have the same people complaining/flaming/trolling, even though the handles have changed for a few, about Vista today that did similar on XP. This group, with an occasional exception, has remained relatively free of that same nuisance.

Think I'll ever get e-mail there? Munge your e-mail address. Use a domain that isn't registered (so it doesn't exist now and won't exist later). Use .invalid as the TLD (inplace of .com or .net). You are probably getting spam more due to YOU exposing your true e-mail address in your posts where spambots roam the newsgroups to harvest them. Thank you all for the responses! I already use a fake email address and fake name when I post to a newsgroup. It seems that this individual has somehow written a program to scan the headers of all posts to newsgroups and is able to find my posts. It doesn't matter if my post is a primary post in a thread or is deep in a thread. OE 6.0 makes bold all new posts when I go to read newsgroups so perhaps this individual is only scanning for new posts. Anyway, even if I change my fake email address and fake name, he is able to find my posts. Rob > Every post I make to newsgroups is being maliciously tracked by a certain > individual.

MS Outlook Express has little to do with what shows up in some header lines. While you can control the name and email address, you can't control the IP address. The server you connect to sees your IP address, and either adds it, or not, depending upon how it is configured. That is up to the NNTP server administrator. Consider your posting headers: | NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:47:25 -0500 | From: Rob <emasil@email.org> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] | X-Usenet-Provider: http://www.giganews.com | NNTP-Posting-Host: 64.181.89.216 Those are some of the lines I would use to search on.

Line 2 uniquely identifies you in all posts made using MS Outlook Express as you have configured it for posting in this news group. Line 8 *may* also uniquely identify you, if Fibernet assigns it statically to your account. Line 6 uniquely identifies the particular post you made; from which I can deduce that you use Earthlink as an ISP. Together, lines 6, 7, and 8 identify with whom you have Internet service, and NNTP service. There are some NNTP services which don't display your NNTP Posting IP address; but most do add something in the headers by which a reader can classify a poster to some degree, or other. > I noticed something else this evening ................. > I watched as Norton Antivirus scanned my HD tonight.

It makes sense to use an invalid or munged email address, yes, but if the emasil@ address wasn't valid you didn't need to change anything. A little detective work leads me to believe that the replies you refer to are by one "StopThisAdvertising" (Arno R?; e.g., http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.access.tablesdbdesign/msg/f4fc55 ce3e6028e9) who keeps posting a link to the very interesting page http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/whoissteve.html Other than continuing to change the name & email address you use when posting (which you've been doing, it would appear, in order to shake this guy), there's nothing you can do about it except ignore him (or clean up your act & stop soliciting business in the MS newsgroups...which happens to be a violation of the Code of Conduct).

Do you have any idea how he is able to quickly find any post I make even though i change my name and email address when posting ? It just caught my attention that you are an MVP. How do you contact an official that oversees that program?

Since both WLMail and WM use real .nws files already (instead of .dbx) for their Message Stores you could probably use them directly...

A .dbx file is a proprietary MSFT database, which can only be read by MS Outhouse Exploder. A .nws file is a common text file which can be read by any common text reader.

Another little PFK who doesn't want the college admissions officers and employers to be able to trace him on the Internet. People who hide behind pseudonyms on the Internet get ZERO respect.
