Hello,

I'm sorry to report that today I recieved spam from someone that harvested
my address from Lugnet.  This is a first for me (via Lugnet) and I'd like to
know what we can do to prevent it from happening again.  I'm sure that it's
from Lugnet because here's the only place I use this address.

The header reads:
Received: from rypp-p-144-139-141-147.prem.tmns.net.au (HELO
georgedomain.net) (144.139.141.147)

Subject: amazing income potential

So it seems that someone in Australia originated the message.  I'll complain
to their ISP to try to stop them from spamming again, but felt that I needed
to let Lugnet know that we have a security problem.   Did anyone else get
this message?

Do we need to do a sign-in to view email addresses like eBay?

Very protective of my inbox,
Ben Roller
