Is it just me, or is anyone else getting major email attacks? I had

one, but always a domain belonging to a contributor to uk.sci.weather.
I've had hundreds from something purporting to be Mike Tullett, for
example, and one of today's batches comes from coyney.demon.co.uk.


I never, or very rarely get Spam.

I am using BT Openworld, broadband. Not sure if this is of any help, but I
subscribe to several newsgroups using my correct name & email address, I
just do not get to see any Spam at all.

You must be damn lucky Pete. I get tons of spam to my e-mail address I
use as a return address when I post to newsgroups.

I always keep my personal e-mail private, and only give it to people I know.
