It is now 14.25 GMT on Monday 21 February 2005.

Within the last two hours someone has just sent something like 5000
similar
spam messages to the Usenet newsgroup ul.sci.weather.

I have looked at some of the headers, and all those I have looked at
purport
to come from 24.186.189.211, which I gather is one of your IP numbers.

Would you care to investigate, please?



Who was this addressed to, Anne? Original article not available on my

Anyone swamped by this may try:

Lucky Philip!
