[Woodcarver] spam

[R. Stephan Toman]

I'm getting the same junk and it is coming as mail from the list.  Anybody 
discovered any sort of vacination against this stuff?  I'm deleting 200+ 
bogus mailings a day, and that's after it's gone through three firewalls 
(not all via the mailing list...that avenue just seems to have started in 
the last day or two).  I honestly don't know if there is any way to block 
the garbage as long as it's being generated by programming that makes every 
piece unique.  My web guru has told me that the spammer's use spiders that 
can latch on to any email address that might be on a webpage or in a 
computer with a cable hookup like RoadRunner...And it can probably get into 
a modem connection any time it's on-line, I would think.  Sometimes this 
"free speech" thing seems to have it's downside, don'cha know.
