Usenet isn't the only bag o'spam out there - you have an email address
posted into your web browser? (insert the voice of that southern style
cook here) I guarentee (end insert) that you'll get spam from it, too. 

I routinely have spam all over my backup account - the best way to
deal? any message without a TO: header? Trashed. Any intelligent mail
list that isn't spam has TO: the address of the mailing list. 

PMMail (OS/2 and Win32) has a way to do it, so I know the others should
as well. 

Cheers!
