No flames coming from here. McAfee scans everything coming in or going out and when I get something strange I run the virus cleaners. I use juno mail as you can see and so far; knock on wood, I've never been infected. I just wanted to let those whose addresses were used that someone was sending junk in their name. Often it doesn't even come from their server. Hopefully I haven't disturbed anyone with my original post but these things seem to come in cycles and it is best to nip them in the bud.
