Thanks Deri, I'll have a go with your suggestions when I wake up a
bit. :-)

Hi Rayna,
You're using Mutt aren't you? Mutt uses scoring rules to deal with
Spam, if a message gets a score of less than zero mutt will
automatically delete it for you (so you won't see it).
Here is an article on the subject:-
<http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2001/1107.mutt2.html>
You can also type:-
man mutt
man muttrc
for some info (but a bit technical).
The article has some examples. the file you put these examples in is
"~/.muttrc".
If this file already exists make a copy of it first by:-
cp ~/.muttrc ~/MuttRc.old
(if you get an error then the file doesn't exist - which is quite
likely).
Then you can edit/create the file with:-
vi ~/.muttrc
If it all goes horrible just delete it with:-
rm ~/.muttrc
and copy it back (if it already existed):-
mv ~/MuttRC ~/.muttrc
I suggest you don't set the scores to -1 straight away, set them to
zero, they will appear at the bottom of the list, then when this
works you can change it to -1.
Meir pointed you at SpamCop, they probably can't do much for you, a
lot of Spam comes from "open relays".
The only known instance of someone culling e-addies from the List is
GigerMD, there are plenty of other ways your addy can be nicked.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Deri
