Thanks Norsk!

That is a great tip! Just the kind of great antispam technique this special topic forum needs. I have never heard of 'POP before SMTP'...

My mother (a grandmother and savvy net user) has been on the net (doing email) since 1992 and now says, for her, the Internet is "not fun anymore' because of the mountains of spam she receives.

I think spam is the number one problem on the net today...... recently I was overseas in an Internet kiosk and spent most of my 'on-line' time deleting a thousand junk message that accumlated over a day in airports and planes.....

Thanks! Neo
