Bob et all, I totally believe what your saying about the dummy account. If it's not announced, it's not known about by the bot's. I am also positive that the bots could not infiltrate the system you provide for our use. I personally use a service provider with spam filtering on their end for all e-mail (just like what was setup for our use) and only allow the messages of my choosing to actually get onto my machine. I have (until recently) had my e-mail info on the SAC home page since taking over the site and have never received any spam. I am unsure what started this, but think it is the message that lists addresses with everything after @ truncated by freelists.org. The SMTP & POP3 info are there also and as you said earlier "the bots are getting smarter.
