Dictionary "attacks" etc. Ever open one up even accidentally? You probably just verified your email address as "real" via web beacons. (Not in The Bat of course but one feature I loved in Thunderbird was the ability to choose whether or not you wanted to view graphics either once or always from that source) I have an email address that has NEVER been used except when my ISP contacts me with it. It went out in the (in)famous AOL sellout of the user database to spammers (I was with Time-Warner was the parent company of AOL). That one was caught - how many aren't? I am starting to get spam through a Google account that has been in use for some time. There are some neat harvesters out there. I used to use one to grab all the graphics from a site. It would also grab all the email addresses among other things. I have a friend that forwards jokes with all the recipients intact. Whatever system is out there, there is someone who has nothing better to do than break it. -- Rick The Bat Version 3.96.15 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.96.14 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
