Tracey, funny you should mention this. I generally find that for a few days after I've made a posting to one of the lists there's an increase in the amount of spam mail I get. I think it may be the "spam robots" trawling through everything online, including the rootsweb archives, to gather email addresses. I wouldn't worry too much - just delete them as you've been doing - they'll stop after a few days - but will probably begin again when you make another posting.
