Someone recently noticed that address lists appear to have been harvested

spamproofing feature in the email address!  Sadly, it seems that some finks
still have lists from prior to this enhancement.

sorry to say, but those emails already harvested will never stop getting
spam now.  Your only option is to abandon that address, and start a new
(Safe) one.

  I've just started forwarding all my spam to Bruce Schlickbernd.  Problem
solved.

Or, just install really good spam filters, like spamassassin. :)

  It doesn't seem to happen often enough to be a major problem for me yet,
and I'm gratified that the Microsoft is so concerned about my security.
