Thanks,

It has been a while since I posted anything. I was not sure I had my setup configured to send out messages.

Should I configure a NOSPAM in my address?

You don't even need to write your address here. You could, for example,
write a fake one such as lucas.heuman@example.com.

Maybe?

I don't actually know how many spammers are still trawling Usenet for
email addresses. Twenty years ago, posting with a valid email address
would get you on an occasional spam list, but Usenet is more obscure now
and it may not be so much of a problem.

A valid address may help in some rare cases: for example, if you try to
post to a moderated group that no longer has a moderator, you will
usually get an auto-reply to let you know, but this won't happen if you
used an invalid address.
