Thanks for the responses. Did not think an ISP would be a likely source, but just this morning received a subject line only offer for "Renewal by Anderson" with a link to who knows where [maybe that Saudi prince will send me some $ too] from a Gmail address on a different email account I have with the same ISP, so that seems a likely culprit.

Brian, More likely that optonline.net has been hacked. My ISP was hacked twice in the 15 years that we have been with them (an extremely rural provider). The ISP did all the right things of changing passwords and installing spam filters etc., but I still get a lot of activity into the spam filter.

I use this address only for this list and one other sailing list, so in theory it should not really be "out there" other than the few posts and rare emails directly to list members. Has anybody noticed an increase in spam? Does this mean this list [or the other list] or someone on it has been "hacked?" Is it possible some entity has joined either list for nefarious purposes? The "Junk" email filters are not picking these up. Thanks, Brian _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
