maybe a beginner's question

Luca 21 Apr 2005 02:12:04 -0000

joined this group today as i wasn't lucky getting help from my ISP, who aired a "cant' do nothing about spam" attitude, want's to keep a zero false positive level.... so does nothing.

my mail is   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i am getting tons of mail (spam) addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] into my inbox. there's no cc or bcc headers or any other email address in the message. (my address is NOT in msg)

1. what exactly is happening here, step-by-step?

2. seems to me, that one could filter so i get only messages addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is that correct?


thanks for helping the newbie

([EMAIL PROTECTED], where xx is a variable, different rotating single addresses, one per mail (not bulk, cc or bcc)
