<div>My wife manages several Web sites for small businesses in Coralville,
where we used to live. We've set up the sites' Web mail to return
all e-mail that is not specifically addressed to one of the sites'
e-mail addresses. Over the past couple of months, we've gotten
thousands of spam messages that have been sent out using one of our Web
addresses as the sender address and then blocked by the targeted e-mail
system. Is there anything we can do? We're concerned
that the reputation of these sites, which have been on the WWW since
1998, will be ruined. Thanks. Rob Miller<br>

I've received 62 SPAMs since Midnight, May 19th, addressed to the address I only use for the LUG list. In less than 4 days, that seems like a lot, and that's using Dave W's blocks. Extrapolating that out, that's over 450 e-mails a *month* to this one address. Maybe we should password protect the archives so only those who belong to the list can see them. That would also prevent the address farming we had a year ago.
