Help!?

My real email address is being posted when I use entourage to post to
usenet.
How do I change it to a spam free email address?

Go to Tools -> Accounts, click New, and choose POP, or if you see the
Account Setup Assistant, choose "Configure Account Manually", and then
choose POP. Enter a name like "Spam Free Account" or something else
descriptive. Fill in your name and any address, real or fake, that you want
to direct junk to. The only other field you need to fill in is SMTP server,
which should be the same as your real account. Then click OK.

Now, in the Accounts window, click the News tab, and open the news server.
Under "E-mail account", change from your default account to the Spam Free
Account, and then click OK. Repeat for each news server, and then you're
done!

regards to this email account:
The specified server could not be found.

Go to Tools -> Accounts, click the "Mail" tab, and open your spam-free
address. Uncheck the option to "Include this account in my 'Send & Receive
All' schedule", and click OK.

Excellent!
