We haven't figured it out since the headers are completely stripped of any and all original content. The spammish messages are in fact sent directly to you, and not thru the list server at all. The lists recipient list has had any uol.com.br addresses expunged, but that only slowed it some. There is a redirect at work someplace. We'd dynamite it if we knew where. I'm fwding it back to them at several addresses includeing the sales dept. No bounces so far. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
