I guess not all of us is getting the spam as badly either. I get some on various lists, not all of them and not as severely as others. Very strange.

Of the 21 above 15 had been caught and sent to my "Junk folder" and 6 were in my in-basket.

Message headers show this to be so. Ancestry admit they have issues and worryingly, admins are unable to do anything about because Ancestry have turned of moderation. Further, it's no coincidence that as soon as the RootsWeb lists came back up, my daily spam message count went up from one or two to thirty to forty. >If they were everyone would get them.
