I've been getting them for some time too. My server admin is busy installing
some spam blocking software, but I don't know if it will block that. I've
set up several filter rules for this crap, though.

I purchased SpamKiller before McAfee bought them, but lost my registration
code :( So I've been deleting spam manually since then. I should call them
and see if they have me on record and if they can send me a new code.

I'm very discouraged with spam. I haven't registered my tim@brickmedia.com
address _anywhere_ and still receive spam.

ROFL!

Seems like I'm just a lightning rod for irrational, insane attackers of the
community. Ahh well.
