[Elecraft] Junk mail from elecraft...

[John Ragle]

Hello, Ingo,

     The reason I asked for "Reaction?" in my email was to find out if 
all others on the reflector were getting this stuff, or if it was my 
problem alone. From the reaction, it seems that it is not reaching the 
QTH or Elecraft servers but is coming in as spoofing from somewhere 
else. There is little I can do with my filters to keep this out, other 
than to look for phrases in the "Subject" line that mark this type of 
mail. I already filter on several of the obvious subject-line words and 
phrases.

     Thanks for taking the time to respond. I am 110% sure my machine is 
clean and that my own address book has not been stolen. Apparently, 
however, someone somewhere has gotten hold of my info from another 
address book somewhere and is using it. This is a perennial problem and 
I have changed my email address periodically because of it. Guess it is 
time to change again.

     Thanks also to the others who gave a useful response to my email.
