Yep! I had a lot of grief over this when I first tried to get on the newbie list (because my ISP had been taken over by another ISP, which left me with an address something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]@YY.net), so *that* particular mistake has been drummed well and truly into my thick head.

DougB I use set newbie nomail whenever I am away for any length of time and have no problems (just come back after 3 weeks away to no newbie e mails at all) I find the answer is to take all your ISP login data with you on a floppy and then use that to log directly in on anyone's computer and read your mail and delete them on a daily basis from withing the ISP's server. That way you keep the mail from building up to much but you don't leave your website details on someone elses machine either, and you don't need to lug a copmuter around with you.

Finally, I'm off on 2 weeks hols, and I can't seem to unsub from the site. Off to try again, Paul M. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
