Spammers have a trick they now use, which works if they know the "name" of the default mail server of the ISP. They can send a message to "whatever"@"mailservername" and EVERYONE on the mailserver gets a message! The "whatever" can actually be anything they wish to type! This really sucks, but I don't know what can be done about it. -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike -------------------------------------------------- Get a PERMANENT 100MB capacity mailbox for ONLY $29.95/year.
