I hope it's not my address cos someone is using the @ and bit after with
random stuff in front of the @ to spam. I know because I keep getting

I've consulted my Russian Boffin who tells me there is nothing I
can do about it short of changing my e-mail address, something I
am reluctant to do for a variety of obvious reasons.
So I'm just putting up with it until the problem gets too bad.
Anybody got any suggestions.
Trouble is, Vortex is very vulnerable cos everyone's address
shows up on the posts.
Frank
