Rob, you're not alone in getting these. I'm getting
hammered with them too. But, in my case, it's not
"Spam", rather, they are e-mails relating to the Swen
worm. Apparently there are several list members who
are infected.
I posted about this last week, but either people
didn't read my message or they didn't take my advice
and check their systems (or they're not technically
capable of doing so, but we won't go there too
much...)
I'm sorry to see you go. But, consider that this is a
worm issue and not a Spam issue. You shouldn't have to
change your address, as doing so will not make you
invisible to the worm.
Good luck!
And people... PLEASE check your systems if you have
not already done so!
