Just delete it. There was a warning on another list today (I think) concerning this...it is a not very subtle way of harvesting email addresses for spam purposes. Don't reply or click any link; just delete it.

Forget it Sandra It is just an anti spam programme called Drop something or other and it will block all emails unless the person concerned has set it up correctly to accept list postings. It will be there loss as they will miss out on any requests they make to the list. Nigel posted up a warning about it and I have done the same on Hampshire Life.
