Sounds very efficient... but complicated! :-) I'm glad I just have to deal
with the one computer and the coupel of addresses I have. Really wanted to
get even less addresses, but msn and yahoo , and even google, more or less
force you to have one, so there's 3 plus the main isp one. I prefer to use
the isp email. It does mean I am somewhat hostage to them, however, because
the thought of trying a different provider gives me shivers, changing all of
those addresses to people and companies and services. Yikes! I like my isp
because they seem reliable and seem to have very good spam protection
(spamassassin hardly has to do anything).
