I agree. If Owains theory was correct (that email addressed to simon.troup is random) I should also be getting some stuff addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is clearly not the case. I've got catch all email setup on my server, so I see every every message. There's next to no random stuff on there except when people try to spoof my address for sending spam and I get the "message undeliverable" notices. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art ------------------------- Finale IRC channel server: irc.chatspike.net port: 6667 channel: #Finale ------------------------- _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
