I don't know if this is coincidental, but after I started using it I began to get less spam, then the spam rates started creeping up again - with a different distribution; more Nigerian scams, and more spams from .cn and .pk domains of which spamcop says "these lot won't listen to us". I wonder if spammers whose ISPs and/or countries' legal systems don't give a rat's ass about spamming simply use spamcop reports as confirmation of a valid email address... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
