[Boatanchors] viruses

[Lawrence Mayhew]

There is widespread use of "old" or "abandoned" e-mail addresses by
spammers. When Comcast bought out attbi and "grandfathered" the old e-mail
addresses someone moved in and set up a launch point using my old address.
If you have an old address that the reflector is still recognizing it would
be wise to kill it.

I too have a similar problem which I discovered when several messages
bounced back to me. On checking, the message was sent to someone I never
heard of and there must be many more that went to valid e-mail
addresses. I just caught these as they went to invalid addresses.

Somebody should kidnap and behead one of these spammers and virus
generators.!!!
