Lance: Thanks for sending the sober virus alert info. As for my friends e-mail address. This wasn't a legitimate email I'm positive. The subject line was in German. :-( Don't know about the rest of yall but I'm getting tired of this.

The latter one does happen on occasions so just be aware that you may find a message you want in the bulk mail folder. While it may be annoying, it does show that the filters are effective in picking up key words commonly used in spam.

The spam is now being directed into my bulk mail. All but one I received yesterday, which had the e-mail address of someone from a group I am part of. Now what...this is getting to be a little more than annoying. My personal addresses are being used to send their propoganda.
