Just as you should when posting to a public form to avoid email address harvesting.

Address munging
Posting anonymously, or with a fake name and address, is one way to avoid "address harvesting," but users should ensure that the
fake address is not valid. Users who want to receive legitimate email regarding their posts or Web sites can alter their addresses
so humans can figure out but spammers cannot. For instance, joe@xxxxxx might post as joeNOS@xxxxxxlid, or
display his email address as an image instead of text. Address munging, however, can cause legitimate replies to be lost. And if it's
not the user's valid address, it has to be truly invalid, otherwise someone or some server will still get the spam for it.

>> People use fake email addresses when posting to newsgroups, to keep their real email address from being harvested by spammers.
>> So don't use "Reply", which sends email to one person. Use "Reply Group", which posts to the newsgroup.
