I use numbered, tracked e-mail addresses everywhere. I've already changed addresses on the freebsd lists once (after 2 weeks of membership) and am already receiving it at the new address. Pita... One thing I do aside from other counter measures is I wrote a little script that scrapes the active spammer list from spamcop.net and null routes all the ip addresses. I sort it, uniq it, and keep it trimmed down to the last 400 entries or so. Does a pretty good job too. ~~ Andy Harrison ah##@httpsite.com ICQ: 123472 AIM/Y!: AHinMaine [full headers for details] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQCVAwUBPpxTSFPEkLgodAWVAQFxCgP9Gz+GyGtU6bHCmGYrNNmv9z9LaMTce1cR I9DlsLu3IHxRFL7R87agwuRFSxUYpYJZstYfwDHzjIoH04gBDZp3s2Uu5AP3fi3P YeeWBiN2Xtb7uUG71wTAGvpn+2rpT5Ry+8fm0btmKSwqxoPkUQICuoT39IVwY5Yl Cp+z/Ir89K8= =4p+Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
