Or, you can do as I do, and insert a bogus #O/organization line:
#O	Fusion-Chem-Info-Med-Data-Bio-Net-Tech-Quik, Inc.

Whenever I get mail with *any* of that in the address, I know that
something's afoot.  (I *still* get the Sun Observer, after about
8 or 9 months of never having sent them a dime. :-)
