Spammers don't just use recent Usenet >postings. My address has been out there since 1993. I reckon I get little enough spam so that, although I was making the point about being able to reject mail using Addmail, it's actually less trouble to download it and delete it here. The time taken with a V90 modem connection is trivial. By the time spammers catch on to sending QuickTime movies, I guess we'll all have broadband connections and that will be no problem either. But I can see that if you have been harvested by people who are sending you upwards of 50 spam emails a day, you would want protection. -- Peter
