How to stop iPhone users from unintentionally sending texts to my email address

Solution 1:

• Open the messages app on your Mac.

• Open preferences from the Messages menu at the top of the screen.

• Select the Accounts tab of the preferences window.

• Uncheck enable this account

In future iPhone users should not find that messaging you defaults to an iMessages and rather to a SMS message.

This is a particularly nasty ongoing bug which does not rely on ever having had a iPhone and is particularly difficult to detect because the sender thinks they have sent you a text message(s) and the (non-)receiver is none-the-wiser that they are missing any messages/ignoring someone.
