Just back from a week on Lough Corrib and I just got this message. Thanks for the tips guys. I have just activated the spam guard on Yahoo. We'll see how I get on over the next week or so.

Do not use a personal name in your email address... as Spammers guess names it is pretty easy, they can just yuse name generators etc. 2. Spammers also pinch email adresses of web sites and bulletin boards.. don't publish it there. 3. Some web sites 'sell' email addresses to spammers.. so set a a seond address for registering at websites. Keep a separate 'safe' for your personal email for friends family etc.... regards IM Homepage:- http://www.angelfire.com/on/theriverbank SwapPage http://www.angelfire.com/on/theriverbank/ftswaps.html _________________________________________________________________ SEEK: Now with over 50,000 dream jobs!
