Katy,

Yes, but it's not the "normal" variety, and I know how 
I'm getting it.  But unfortunately there's also nothing 
I can do about it short of totally shutting down my 
livingwithtrisomy.org homepage launch website.  Some 
ingenious spam contact provider has targeted my site's 
submission page.  So what I'm getting now, and have been 
for about the last six months, is dozens of spam e-mails 
per day submitting website links to me, mostly for on-line 
pharmacy & porn sites.  But since they show up under my 
site's info@ e-mail addy, I can't block them without 
blocking the legitimate submissions as well.  Plus I have 
to at least open up the e-mail to see if it is spam.  

I'm getting pretty good though at recognizing the non 
legitimate titles (like Pharmacy, Grom, baran, & Pendosi 
pidori my most prolific submissions). Oh and alternately for
about a month I was also inundated with non deliverable 
mail notices, because they were also using my server's name 
to create alias e-mail addy's to put on other spam they were 
sending out.  But since I'm the only REAL user on the server
all the notices were coming back to me. Thank goodness at 
least THAT's stopped now.  But take note, that return e-mail
addy server on the spam you're receiving is probably a pirated
server alias.
