Martin, ANYTIME you use your email, ANYWHERE, there's a chance some hacker puke will intercept the headers and use yours (or any others) to redirect his own spam. For two years now, I've been getting spam from various mapleleafup.org addresses that don't even exist. Someone has written a script to go through lists of domain names (ultimately millions of them) and cull them for potential headers.

These people should be publicly executed on live TV. I'd pay to watch it.

Geoff
