I suspect the computer sends to every posible combination, and those that exist receive the garbage, should be something we can do about this crap!!!

Isn't spam fun?

The ones that do this mass mailing to ISP addy's are the worst. Haven't even bothered to collect email addy's they just figure there will be a few live ones for every thousand or so dud ones.

That's a mess of net bandwidth being abused, right there!

Hopefully some control of these mass spammers will come through ISP's tightening up mail servers. Hopefully.

Cheers
Mick
