Since I've got a new address (used to be LabRat@i-link.net - change
your address books), I'm trying to nip the spam in the bud. As a
preliminary step, I've added the '@spambusters' to my address to
help stop the e-mail spam. Think this will help or is it causing
more problems than it's worth? On one of the OS/2 newsgroups I saw a
thread about spambots using the 'from' address to send their spam,
but nothing had been decided about spambots using the 'reply to'
field. Is there a RFC to cover this situation? Yarn's smart enough
to allow you to choose which address mail is sent to (evidently not
all newsreaders are, or maybe its the sender that's not paying
attention.)
