I made the same mistake! IT WAS A HORRIBLE MISTAKE! I've been fighting the battle ever since. I ruined a good email address. Now I'm faced with filtering tons of spam (with spamassassin, or procmail, or something else to learn), or abandoning my main mail address... There's gotta be a better way. =( -sfh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
