If you can't do >that (like me) then you have to do the following:
Can't change her company email address Gerry, far too many linkages on the net and elsewhere to make such a move economical. A solution was found in changing from a mailto.exe on the server to a more secure offering without her address being in the hidden fields. A problem with Spamcop is that one you get added to their lists, they REALLY don't want anything to do with you whether you are legitimate or not, I've seen others be added to their lists even though it was a case of a porn spammer grabbing the email addy from them. Once the matter was resolved Spamcop still would not remove them, too much work I suppose. Happy holidays. Peter Kaulback ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
