I have had a large number from most of the banks and so on which I get rid of. this Casino mail is becoming a pain as I am getting an increasing number every day now. I have been asking around about how these companies get people's addresses and the opinion is through chat rooms. as I am only with the 2 that Software express operate I begin to wonder if someone is able to access addresses he Hence my junk mail increase. I see that another warning has been put on the help page with a warning about Span and would value a reply from Chris or who ever to give assurance of the validity of this new message. not being a technical minded person I know nothing of such matters. I know that marketing company's random dial phone numbers in the hope they will get a hit enabling them to sell there double glazing or whatever so can this be done with Email addresses as well. any thought's From Dave.
