Like you I have also noticed an increase in SPAM. It never used to worry me
but now it seems most of my incoming mail is not directly related so I
installed a program called Omnipage MailWall and it has reduce a fair bit of
it. I have heard of some people that offer this service to clients etc. that
is run there mail through the businesses scanning do hicky thingo.....

I also am lucky enough to run my own domain so I can make up aliases etc
willy nilly. As I subscribe to a new list etc I make up a new email address.
When I start getting bombarded with Spam to a certain address I know where
it has came from etc....

Just my thoughts.
Regards, Peter.

Subject: [OT]: Spam


I am being hit by a small but increasing amount of spam.
It always originates from Yahoo and has progressed from
Nigerian Scams to Dutch Porn.

I have this gut feeling that my address has been obtained
by mining PicList. But I could be wrong.
Is anyone else suffering from this affliction?

I have reported it to abuse@yahoo.com but have received no
feedback from them.

Regards
Chris Carr
