FWIW:
It seems my email address is being spoofed and used to send a lot of spam. 
The only way I know this is that I received a notice when it bounces. It let 
up for a while but now is back trying to sell gambling!

The spam is NOT originating here and I have no idea what to do to fix the 
problem.
