Yes, I have been getting lots of junk spam letters and have wondered where in the sam hill they were coming from. I have SBC and they monitor the mail if you wont them to but it comes thru as bulk mail but I have been getting about 10-2- a day some days. I had wondered how to get them stopped.

I have two e mail addresses and this one is used for rootsweb lists ONLY, nothing else. All other mail goes to another address. I belong to a number of rootsweb lists. Has rootsweb sold our addresses?? I apologize if I have irritated anyone on this list but would like to know if anyone else is having the same problem.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. One List Mom got really riled up because I even suggested that rootsweb shared our e mail addresses. I am getting a lot of Spam and I am just about ready to unsubscribe from them all. I don't get any thru my other e mail address. My husband thinks they get them thru rootsweb somehow. Probably not intentionally but I think there is a problem with it somehow.

Thanks again, Fern It is not rootweb's fault, it is a hazard of using your email address online. According to the investigators, spammers typically use computer programs that search public areas on the Internet to compile, capture, or otherwise "harvest" lists of email addresses from web pages, newsgroups, chat rooms, and other online destinations.
