OK I think I'm on top of this situation....(see headers) I added "X-Archive: encrypt" header to my newsreader so my email adr is encrypted by Gmane (that was what I wanted to do so my adr wasn't 'published' to the massses) Now (if this works) I can send via Gmane to any of their linked groups & NOT get any auto e-mails/spam/etc (unless someone specifically replys to the msg.... that's OK by me & I don't have to review hundreds of msgs to find a valid one). Of course I'll now need to throw out the adr that WAS published already.... Really, Thanks for all your helps,people Greg
