MI5victim was alive and (I won't say well!!) a week ago. It remains to be seen if he's gone. And if you believe that reporting spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] actually has any effect on spam, you must believe in the Tooth Fairy as well! There will be spam as long as there are morons who will send the spammers money for whatever they're peddling! I still get two or three "Spanish Prisoner" a/k/a "401" scams each week (this is the one where somebody has $30,000,000 US and will share it with you if only you will send him a little of your money)! The US government does seem to have cracked down on the "Pharmacy" spam and the internet "pharmacies" that were behind it. Remember, it costs essentially nothing to send spam to 30,000,000 people and if the spammer gets 0.5% response, he's ahead of the game! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
