Thanks everyone who responded to my question about spam. And once again my apologies for copying the whole thing to the list, one of the reasons spam is bad is that it clogs bandwidth and I was just contributing to the problem. I sent a message to worldnet.att.net about this one and received an automated reply, this was better than the message that i sent to a vax site who never responded but not as good as the message i sent to another site who got back to me to say that he'd terminated the account of the user in question :-) For anyone who's interested I found some interesting links about spam and how to deal with it: "http://www.vix.com/spam//" "http://www.panix.com/e-spam.html" "http://kryten.eng.monash.edu.au/gspam.html" This whole exercise I found very educational, SPAM is everyone's problem and we'll be working to make sure that our site doesn't contribute to the problem. Thanks Again Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au
