I've been getting spams from sources that suspiciously resemble listmembers addresses for many months now. (Either that or a listmembers machine has been compromised.) I'm behind hardware and software firewalls. I'm moderately safe in that regard, but I still use several programs to provide for greater protection beyond that. The interesting thing is that the viral spams are coming from several sources. I'm betting Apple users get those same emails regardless of the fact that they are not infectable by the same viruses as PCs. xponent A Plague Upon Both Of Their Houses Maru rob
