[RTTY] SPAM

[Barry]

Part of the problem may be that the contesting.com lists are 
archived on their Web site, and include full e-mail addresses, for 
any spam bot to harvest.

I run the Acom amp list at yahoogroups.com, and they don't 
publish the full e-mail addresses in their archives.

I'm very careful about giving out this e-mail address, and I average 
10-15 spams/day (sales pitches, porno site, etc.)
