[pure-silver] Re: [lens] Re: Ebay

I receive a lot of spam - some 500-1000/day, including usually half a dozen 
ebay or paypal 
spoofs. But almost always they don't use my ebay address. The number has been 
decreasing.

Just bounce the spoofs to spoof@xxxxxxxxxx or spoof@xxxxxxxxx They appear to be 
shutting 
them down.
