SpamBayes Outlook add-in does a good job for me. Google for URL. (Of course, it doesn't stop them, just tosses them in a spam filter to = be easily dumped.)

I've also received a number of messages claiming to be from Dwilliams_at_lifetouch.com. =20
I was about to email Mr. Williams a nastygram but noticed the internet headers show:

        "Received: from server.net (62-128-174-17.iwayafrica.com [62.128.174.17])"
Anyone know of a good way to stop these?

Mike,

        You can easily assume that the mail message was spoofed. Our mail =3D system does not allow us to send messages that don't get scanned both = =3D
incoming and outgoing. And to boot I've received a number of messages = =3D
from the postmaster that claim I sent messages to interval people via = =3D
their external mail address. Wish I could catch that damned person! = =3D This
spoofing and spamming are getting so far out of hand I'm starting =3D to = think
they should bring back the guillotine for those people.

Hi ORACLE-L list posters,

Warning if you posted on Oracle-L lately...

I just got an email from dgoulet_at_vicr.com with ZIP attached. Yahoo scan did not detect virus, but my McAfee did trap the virus.

Warning if you posted on Oracle-L lately...

Regards,

Mike=3D20

PS: Sorry if the email source was spoofed, but it did say it was from dgoulet_at_vicr.com.
