Thank you. Up north I get very little virus contaminated mail and no spam.
I sent my local server an e-mail and asked if there was something they could
do to stop the spam and the dozens of virus contaminated e-mails. Don't
know what they did, but they eliminated all the spam and 99 percent of
contaminated e-mails.

Norton stops the contaminated e-mails but I have to delete them. Up north
my server gets rid of them and I don't have to look at them.

What does munged mean?

Disfigured so as to guard the /real/ eddress from the spambots. Some
people munge their eddress in different ways, such as:





All will avoid the spambots, BUT the last one is incorrect because it
leaves the ISP's name and any spam mail sent to the eddress will,
therefore, sit on the mail server until it is either delivered (not
likely) or deleted by the server which can take weeks depending upon how
the server is configured. The rest correctly munge the ISP name so mail
goes directly to the trash instead of sitting around taking up server
space while delivery is attempted over and over again.

See you around the Caldrun.
