Get yourself Mailwasher, best little gadget I have ever had for spam mail and most people seem to get the hint after a while and leave you alone. If you do get mailwasher though change one setting under Advanced Bouncing Options > Bouncing > change from use remote server or something to Only Use Local SMTP Server . Seems better able to handle those emails with forged return addresses. And a merry christmas and a happy new year as well.	duckyduck (197)

Certainly about 18 months ago I got a very similar one, might have been from alleged widow of ex-Nigerian dictator who found my name in her husbands address book and badly needed my help to invest her $60million, but she was only to be contacted through her solicitor. A few words seems to have been changed in your version, but the source is obviously the same. If that sort of thing ever works, and it seems that sometimes it does, (I recall some investment advisor or solicitor in Tauranga lost several million of clients money on that sort of thing a couple of years ago) it would only do so by selective targetting and not by flooding everyone with almost identical spam. So I wouldn't worry about it happening too frequently.	rugila (214)
