    3. Hi List friends, I have been getting an increased amount of "get rich quick schemes" spam, as well "buy our software" spam. I checked with my server to see what could be done. The answer is simple: forward the spam to that person's server. Eliminate the persons name, and replace it with abuse. For example: one I received yesterday was from >From: 1889@myrealbox.com, entitled Hot CD Rom. (I can just imagine!!) I hit the forward key, and sent it to the server: abuse@myrealbox.com This one did go through to a server, but another one came back as no such server. The reason I am posting to the lists is that none of the e-addys in the body of the letter were familiar, except that two were to nantucket area. If any of you received this, I would suggest you report them also. One complaint might not do much, but I would hate to see our lists spoiled by e-mail addy poachers. Kathy Parkinson
