I want to clarify a little, because these spammers do ALSO borrow/steal legit emails - but USUALLY if a spammer is using your email to send to others, you will know because you will receive a bunch of bounce messages. So it's not that it doesn't happen, it's just that receiving a single email from the spammer isn't really evidence that it is happening. Note my email address, "webfavor.com"? It's a domain I own & use for personal email, not many users on it. I just received 2 bounces today for email coming from something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - that's more typical spammer behavior, borrow my domain name and create a fictional user. It's bound to happen simply because I use that domain name for signing up for various subscription lists. -Abigail ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
