The last twenty Spam email I got through my KLUG-only email account are
as follows... I'm wondering if other KLUG members are also getting a lot
of this spam?

All were received within the last week. On getting twenty Spam emails, I
have to log in to my filtering service and reset the counter in order to
allow further messages (at least from new contacts posting to the list).
It is cumbersome but I am just glad the spammers don't have the real
address which my antispam service is masking.

...anyone else getting all these kind of messages? Are you able to trace
where they are comng from? Speaking for myself, they are comming through
an email address that has only ever been used for KLUG. The KLUG list is
my prime source of Spam.

I am thinking that I should change my email address, canceling the one I
gave to KLUG. Easy enough to do, but is it worth doing for KLUG or am I
going to have the new address harvested all over again?
