Because they can. Keeps the spam out.

because they do not want email from you?
because they don't want spam email from the email address harvesters?
why do you have "NO NAME"?

Bogus addresses are used for a variety of reasons, Rose. Posters to
Usenet newsgroups expect replies to be posted to the group. Many
posters absolutely don't want email contact with posters to the group.

Phony email addresses are also used to reduce spam generated by
automatic address-harvesting software that will add the poster's email
address to a list of suckers to be sold to bulk mailers.

Note also that email addresses always end in dot-something; e.g., .com,
..net, .org, .mil, .edu, and I believe there are a few new ones, too, but
those are the most commonly used.

I hope this helps. If you want celaich to see your message, post it
here. If you want celaich to email you, post such a message along with
a working email address. You may or may not receive a reply (see first
paragraph).

I just blacklist them, and the server it originated from, usually
takes care of it.... or I remove the email addy from the domain and
start up with another until they leave the original alone.
