I've had my first 419 SPAM email from the Gadaffi family. This time it is the second wife of Gadaffi offering me 30% of $40 Million. It just goes to show the crooks have been reading the newspapers.
Now Zen, but a +Net residue.

... and more importantly, reading your email address from a webpage somewhere, with a harvesting 'bot.
Which, is what you need to find and fix.

No, its not a problem - I've used that email address for over 15 years on bulletin boards, web sites etc; nothing serious is conducted using that email address. In fact it is almost a honeypot address now.
I use a range of addresses for varying purposes, apart from the usual anti-virus checks I never view an email from an unknown source/or dubious subject unless I first inspect the source code.
