    3. Content-Type@lists3.rootsweb.com Does this look like a correct address? that rootsweb would be placing on a list, why would they be subbing when they can do it themselves? Thanks Cara

No, not at all. Any legitimate RootsWeb e-mail address wouldn't use lists3 in the domain. It is very unlikely that anyone at RootsWeb would ever attempt to subscribe a RootsWeb address to one of their mailing lists. Even the Listmaster usually sends e-mail from the <support_rootsweb@custhelp.com> address. Content-Type is a standard field from e-mail headers, so this looks like a really bad attempt to create an e-mail address. The spammers usually do a far better and more convincing job of creating e-mail address to send spam from, so a big fail on their part. Cheers Elmo. P.S. Words (with the exception of family names) that are all in capitals are considered to be shouted. Please don't shout in your Subject line, unless you do really mean to shout.
