Peter,

They may be forged as Hotmail (or Yahoo) addresses, but why? It's as easy for a spammer to get one of those addresses as you or I.

In fact I have a Yahoo address that I use for all web and product registration purposes. One thingg I really like about it is the spam filtering and bulk e-mail filtering features. Otherwise I'd have to sift through over 100 e-mails a day to get the 1 or 2 legitimate ones.

I'm going to have to look into a spam filter program for my regular email address which I access with Outlook Express now. Eventually the bastards find you and won't let up. At least I'm not getting several attachments of the Netsky virus per day like I was a couple months ago.
