Ouch, this is new. I have written "pajo" and demanded they remove the (1)

remaing level 1 domain on their netblock. I will cheefully apply pressure.

Ugg.. I did not know that. I recently installed Clam Anti Virus /

MailSacnner. It appears when it detected a virus it would send the sender a

notice stating they have sent a virus. I am guessing this is where the spam

complaints came from, given that most of the email addresses for the reply

were probably fake.

thanks for your help John. I have disabled the notices. :-)
