Ah, now I'm surprised that a person who calls himself a computer tech wiz (I'm assuming that's what you are supposed to be) should even have to ask this but for the benefit of other list members who would probably have actually asked in a polite manner about my email then I'll gladly answer, those ignorant so-called "tech-types" may wish to delete or not read the following as it is directed to the "non- arrogant" amongst us <smile>. I said in my previous message that a great source of SPAM was Outlook Depress and Windows and why? Well the main reason being that Outlook transmits a users address book all over the place and your average firewall doesn't block this transmission as its deemed "friendly data". The solution? Well that's pretty obvious really, use a Mac <smile>. or if you have to use Windows, use an email client which doesn't rely on shared resources such as the Windows address book for its data, such clients include Eudora, Thunderbird and so on.

Well its not the Mac's fault actually, the main cause of SPAM problems are those who insist on using Whine-Dows and Outlook Depress.

Hi all,
Well I'm amazed. On a mac they claim you can't have viruses and other
forms of malware, but you can still have spam? I know how spam is
delivered, but I'm just shocked to hear that someone may be receiving
spam through Skype. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
