Ive never seen anything like it! Not >happy, George George, If you're using Mozilla (or Thunderbird) you can set up a junk filter relatively easily. Setting it up to filter out messages with Rybka in the header or message should do it. The nice thing about mozilla is that it won't filter out messages from people in your mailing list, so you should still get the emails you care about. It actually has a ton of filtering options, so you can make the discrimination as fine-grained as you like. I don't use Outlook, or any other Windows mailers, so I'm not sure how they filter junk mail. But I have to believe they have the capability. good luck, --tom
