Aha -- Not "SPAM" -- "SWEN". There is a difference. And now I'm having them
roll in. Someone out there who is subscribed isn't wearing proper
protection.

Oh well -- any mail that isn't addressed a specific way here (like Swen)
gets dumped off to a hold box. I'm running IMAP on the server and accessing
via a winbox that I carry between work and home (running Mahogany/Win-32 --
it took a port of a good linux client to come up with a Windows IMAP client
that works the way it's supposed to <grin>).
