Re: [APML] OT: porm spam flood

I haven't seen anything about that email addy, Scott, so I don't know.

Near as I can tell, based on how the mail is addressed to me, it would
appear someone is either on this list and harvesting addy's, or they got
into the archive (if there is one) to get them. It got really bad starting a
couple of days ago, and this is the only place I've been using this addy for
the last three weeks or so.

The anti-spam legislation sounds like a good thing..but it isn't really
going to help all that much, all they need do is source it out of the
country.
