I haven't noticed much in terms of porn based spam, I used to get some a few months ago, but I started routing them to autorepliers and they stopped. What I have been getting is more "nigerian scam" types and strange advertisements from south america and china, for instance i just received an offer for bottled water in argentina, very strange. There was an article on this a few weeks back on wired news about the increase in spam. I believe it tied it to the increase in search engines worldwide and the ease of harvesting e-mails, etc. along those lines, I'm seeing many more search engines hitting the servers here. one thing that seems to affect increases in spam is belonging to e-mail lists that archive but don't remove your e-mail. Air-l and all similar that i run replace the e-mail, though not in forwarded messages:( not much i can do about that without rewriting the archivers. however, an interesting test for such harvesting is to do a google search on your e-mail id, for instance jhuns generates 404 google records. I ran some other frequent posters and generalize that most people that post to lists generate numbers over 100. jeremy hunsinger jhuns@vt.edu on the ibook www.cddc.vt.edu www.cddc.vt.edu/jeremy www.dromocracy.com
