I know not to reply to get taken off the list as it confirms a valid address.
Thanks
Pauline.

72563 2002-08-20 05:10:00 It is just spam. Receiving such and email with a footer like that does not mean a damn thing. I get them into our webmaster email address (which is only used for in-wards mail, not outwards, and NEVER used to sign up for anytning).

So rest assured, this does not mean a family member has been going where they should not, it just means your email address has found it's way into a spam list and you can expect more of the same.

Although there are some cases when it does work, it's best to ignore it!
