[AccessD] Email spam risk <rant>

Susan, if you are using Outlook, then try out Cloudmark's SPamnet, I think I
heard about it on this list. It works great. Everyone that uses it
contributes to one huge database which gets downloaded by spamnet. I used to
spend so much time everyday editing/configuring anti spam programs, now I
rarely have to (maybe one or to a day, if that), its great. I've tried  a
bunch of other programs, but most didn't work, or worse locked up my outlook
(IhateSpam did this).

The only thing is that it only works with Outlook. They say that a version
of OE is coming soon.

Well, once you started talking outside Access the little light inside my
brain went dim.

"All the figures I ever had in my head just fly right on out when I have on
a new bonnet." Rabbit

Anyway... I don't even really understand what you guys are talking about. I
know of no way to really protect ourselves from spam save unplugging. I
suppose if there's a way to conceal list addresses, we should do it, just on
principle, but I probably visit at least one new site a day -- and
unfortunately, I'm drowning in spam, some pretty bad spam too. There's no
way I would even know from where they gleaned my address.
