Welcome to my world.  I been getting these since I switched from using
comcast's mail crap, er server to my own.  That was like 5 months ago or
so.  I deleted 40 of em from my inbox today.  I keep meaning to set up a
filter of some sort, and I keep pushing it off.  I guess its not
annoying enough yet for me.  In any event, I don't think this is a
matter for the courts...
