sorry I hate spell checker on e-mail. I meant a dozen, 12 spam e-mails, I did not mean 144 spam e-mails. the 12 e-mails were just random porn sites and get-rich-quick scams. I am far closer to grave than the cradle and "hi, I am Jennifer and I want to be your love bug!" just does not get there.

It appears that the spam is not actually coming from this list per se. The spam emails seem to have a From or Subject as 'get_iplayer' But the origin (looking at the raw headers) is nothing to do with get_iplayer. BTW clicking on any embedded link could well place a trojan virus on one's
