Here is a point you both made in reply. And, I really do (did) know better than to reply to spam. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me ;-) I got a little out of that habit from trying something I learned on this list. I was using a script that sent a complaint not to the sender, but to their isp via Internet header. Well, I am not sure it ever worked very well. I did loose some of the more revolting spammers. But not the insidious pro gambling, credit card offers and other passed around offers. They're like Kudzoo, or fire ants. Tenacious and ferocious. I still haven't quite figured out a tip that others on this site have suggested. To put spammers in my address book and filter that way. I just keep adding a criteria every time one gets through to my in box. That seems to work pretty well most of the time. Maybe the address book is a better option I don't know. But just the thought of putting those dam spammers in my very own, personal territory, address book, even in a group by themselves, makes me want to wash my hard drive out with soap. But, sigh, no more replying, no matter what. Thanks.
