Thanks, but most of the spam is coming through to my pop3 address I
use with my ISP but have never used anywhere else (no one but my ISP
and my webhost should know that address). Others are sent to random
addresses using the same ISP domain. Clearly, the spammers have either
hacked their way into my ISP's data or have software that allows them
to generate addresses that work.
