[ILUG-Social] Spammers

[Mervyn Colton]

I got one from my club's web page www.ifwdc.com (not an invitation to
have a go ;-) ) Pluudy pain in the ass.

If you put in nospam or similar into your email address, then the people
I want to contact me who may not be very "comptuery" people may have
problems. What's a guy to do?

Merv.
