Hi This morning I had 21 of these spam messages, and oh yes, they are coming via rootsweb. 3 from Warwickshire, 10 from Devon, 6 from Boston-States and 2 from Nfld-Lab. Of the 21 above 15 had been caught and sent to my "Junk folder" and 6 were in my in-basket.

Terry, I found 30 this morning in my Spam bucket in California - all from Dev List. So international borders make no difference! Yahoo mail servers seem to be filtering them fairly well, however.
