3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

Yeah one of my mates got his hacked kept getting junk mail from him for a week till he changed his password. It got through as it was his name and he's on my safe list. How high is your spam filter on it mate try turning it up a bit I don't get much these days maybe thats cause the spammers don't like me either.

easy way now mate. Click on the bar at top. You can block these addresses permanently. I have been filtering for the past few weeks and i hardly get any spam now.

just a quick note, could be virus crap, codehot.co.uk has a trojan dropper on their server and my virus killer wont let me log on to warn them. trojan droppers turn off virus software and install all sorts of crap apps and other unwaned software plus leting other virus,worms etc the user wont see.
