OT. new antispam laws in the US
The message
from martin contains these words: I checked it on Sunday, there were of 50 bits of spam, to a name never used. It just shows how much is random generation on the "someone must have that name" principle. What did you call yourself? We have 4 e-mail addresses based on our family christian names. My daughter's christian name is not so common, her unused account was overflowing with spam within a few weeks. My son has a very common christian name and his mailbox created at the same time was still empty a year after I created the account for him. Luck of the draw. I'd guess that it randomly generates a numeric address rather than guessing at usernames. -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.
