Why not set up a filter in your router to block them out? (In the
meantime, you'd temporarily block out all Email from Earthlink.net, but
then you can contact Earthlink, tell them, and ask them to deal with their
spammers).

I've been aware of it for some time. A router filter is about the only
defense. I've asked software.com for a fix several times.... we're working
on it, is the answer. (It would be a VERY easy fix).

.....again. (If you think you haven't been hit, go look at your post.offic
lof files -- the days you WERE hit, the log file size sticks out like a
sore thumb).
