From Address In Entourage

[CW]

I would like to use the old simple trick of somewhat disguising my return
address in Entourage - something like: name.name@nospam_real.address.com.
The thing is that I only want to do that when sending emails to newsgroups
(like this one). When I send regular emails to business contacts or friends
I would like to send my real return address. Is there anyway to do that
without physically changing the address when going back and forth between
news groups and regular emails?

If you're going to post with a fake email address, please append '.invalid'
to the end. This way you don't risk mail (junk or otherwise) bogging down
someone else's email server with bounces. Also, some newsreaders will
recognize this and alert a person attempting to reply to you.

Create a POP account especially for this purpose, and don't ever try to
check it. Set the email address to whatever you want, and then tie it into
your News account.
