   I receive very little junk, perhaps because ALL junk received here is
reported to the relevant ISP and BCCd to an information exchange as well as
being appended to a junk file. The computer that holds the file does not
understand or follow any M$ commands, and just treats the file as random
data, so is unaffected by any worm or virus. Old files are archived, the
current file is just under 9 MB.
   I have just received a "message could not be delivered, user unknown,"
notification for the abuse department of an ISP although it is listed in the
ARIN WHOIS, so ARIN have received a copy.
