No, it says that spammers like to have their images load quickly so they go find one that is akamai hosted and link to it. Not all urls in spam messages are there with the permission of the owners of the domain. I have a three box cluster of Akamai boxes in my rack. Makes the frequent MS Software Updates for remote exploits come in a lot faster, even though I have an extra 100Mbps or so laying around unused. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
