    Sorry for jumping on you. I get hundreds of "bounced" e-mails a day
    because spammers have harvested my e-mail address from the net (probably
    from USENET, that's why I'm using an alias now). It's doubly aggrevating
    because all of my systems run Linux and yet I'm suffering because other
    people run infected Windows machines.

    BTW it sounds like you are posting to the wrong place, if it's your
    relatives that you don't want to hear from shouldn't you be writing to
    Dear Abby rather than to a USENET group?
