Anyone else had spam from,

[email protected]

this Spam Sender has got hold of an email address I use only for GR and other Family History sites. I suspect some of the American sites where one can set up a surname forum and give your email address as a contact is an obvious source for spammers.

I have my spam under control, so the odd one gets noticed straight away. I usually change the spelling slightly if it gets to be a problem....for example for newspaper sites.....you could call yourself ...'journalist' and if the spam started change it to 'journalists'. I am using Outlook, so the changes are easy.
