I can honestly say I haven't seen Gmail come up as a spammers address, let alone "an orchestrated spam attack". It's mostly been weird and wonderful ISPs and providers I've never come across usually with a South American, Russian, East European or South East Asian suffix. There have been maybe a handful from well known ISPs and providers. You may be right that you have a spammer on your lists or the subscriber may simply be a new researcher with family connections in your area or an experienced researcher who's just found connections there. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/
