I didn't want to hijack George's thread, but the sentence above caused me to react with:
(a) that's just too much spam which suggests the email service provider being used stinks at their job. So much of the regularly targeted spam is easy to capture and filter out and Dave or anyone else shouldn't see that much daily spam -- unless they're the E-mail Admin and seeing it all.
(b) as computer crime grows--and it will only continue to grow--maybe there ought to be a subforum on this site wherein experienced individuals can offer tried and true resources to those who use their computer the way it's been configured (or not) for them and have security, email spam, or virus concerns.
When one person is a weak security link; many are at risk. It's the way it works. That is:
If you "know" me and you "trust" me and I'm not savvy, I'm a transport for those targeting you.
I'm just thinkin' out loud; wondering what others think of the idea?
