Okay, look at this. [EMAIL PROTECTED] has his email address spoofed by a spammer who sends out a million pieces of spam. Of that number 50,000 recipients are using some form of C/R. [EMAIL PROTECTED] now gets 50,000 challenge messages in his mailbox because of email he never sent. -- Robin Lynn Frank | Director of Operations | Paradigm-Omega, LLC Email acceptance policy: http://paradigm-omega.com/email_policy.html Our current s$p%a&m-t*r#a^p: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
