References should be preserved in that way. If references are not obliterated, then any domain names will be published via news group. If the references which are part of the header are disclosed, then my question is what does the news services do to the headers to provide anonymous services? I haven't looked at the services provided by the news service. Do those previously disclosed links explicitly discussed what is hidden? I am a a little wary of news groups even though I prescribe to them, but I do so without EVER divulging an email address. MY ISP upgraded their news services last year. I blindly followed their instructions for Agent on the upgrade. I preceded to have the account completely filled with infected spam on a daily basis. The account mind you has a capacity of 10 MB. Now think of it 10 MB of attached viruses. I was glad I used a throw away email account. I subsequently learned that all I had to do was put a dummy email address in Agent, and only provide the REAL email address in the news server's authentication login which was never part of the headers. Mind you this was after countless inquiries to my ISP's support with regard to their new policy. The ISP support never suggested the correct fix. Needless to say I am a little wary of these type of situations. -- Best Regards, Greg Strong Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
