I have had an apologetic message from abacus@abacus.com, who are attempting to find who sent this stuff and used their address. I think it is probably best to treat SPAMs like advertisments (commercials). You can't stop them appearing, but you don't have to act on them. I must say I got very angry with the recent SPAMs, but now I sympathise with the sysops who get 100x more abuse than each list ever gets.
