Spam is getting worse over time. I'm sure you can recall when it was nearly nonexistant. I suspect spammers like mailing lists because they can subscribe and get live e-mail addresses sent to them regularly (snagging the reply-to address...). I've oftened considered changing my reply-to setting to the mailing list address itself just to avoid them scraping my live address. Too late for the current one. Maybe for the next? :-( Aram John Mills wrote: >FreeBees- > >This is the third 'Nigerian Ponzi' solicitation I get _today_, and two >yesterday! > >Every now and then I forward an interesting example through a >security-manager friend to the US Dept. of State which theoretically >tracks them.
