Hi Carla,
I think other servers are getting Spam as well. I have
accounts on two other machines and seem to get Spam
more regularly now. I saw an article where some websites
may actually grab your email address from your browser
without you even knowing. I've seen mail spammed to
private aliases as well so it is rather peculiar.
Regarding AOL, I believe that problem was fixed awhile ago. I
sent a message to a friend earlier today and he got it just fine.
If you are continuing to have problems, you may want to mail
root@socrates in case it is an isolated event.
Good luck with your filters!!!
