Since Gary sells domain names, I would think he could recognize the difference between randomly generated emails and targetted emails. I know that the spam I get through my websites are almost always the nonsensical garbage that is sent mainly to see if it has hit a "good" email address. I always bounce it back via Mailwasher, so I rarely see a coherent sentence in any of the spam from amycd.com. With my regular email I almost always get advertisments who got my email from someplace where I signed up for something or another. When I do get a fishing (not to be confused with phishing) email it usually refers to me by an incorrect name, which is a certain tipoff that it is a random mass mailer. I find that bouncing them back does help to keep the volume down. xponent Dot Com Suckage Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
