Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 http://www.seaworthy.com/html/get_ri...oat_odors.html The answer is simple, yahoo is one of the most well known of the anonymous servers. While you are wary, and annoyed, there are thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of potential "targets" that may view the spam. Spammers concentrate on spooging (or, "spoofing") the addresses of the most common ISP's and servers. That way, they have the best chance of getting you (them) to read it. For those that block domains, they are still vulnerable, and may lose "valid" correspondence by blocking an entire domain. Regards, noah ******************** Off-topic posting is a bit like farting in a house of worship. Only children, the arrogant, or the ignorant, can truly enjoy it. Only the arrogant and the ignorant insist on it. To email me, remove the "OT-" from OT-wrecked.boats.noah. ....as you were. ) |
