Anyone else getting these? Fw: Returned mail: User unknown

Actually I solved this problem for alot less money. If you buy a copy of
Mandrake Linux, install everything, set security to medium or high the virus
and worm concerns will be over. I watch viruses come in each day with KMail
and have "no worries mate".

I also installed various programs like Star Office (a file compatable
replacement for Microsoft Office) and WineX ( a program that allows me to
install and run programs written for Microsoft Windows) and have "no worries
mate" about sending, reading, and otherwose using files and programs others
send me, or I need to generate.

All this for less than a copy of Microsoft Windows XP Pro, without Microsoft
office. (Oh yeah, it installed in less than 1/2 the time with only one reboot
!)

Interesting that you mention that.... the Heath list often gets "spam" from
sex sites as well as the "let me deposit 7 million dollars in your bank
account and you can keep 2 million" sorts of messages.   One in particular
has a huge recipient list and it's all "Heath" @ various ISP addresses.  No
idea where or how they get all these addresses!!

Anyway, as moderator, I get to see and reject all of them (and, no, I don't
respond or click on the links!!).  Actually, the list software rejects
posts made by senders who are not members, so these messages would
generally not get through regardless of list moderator action as these
spammers don't usually sign up as list members!  (Something perhaps of a
bug, I'd say, that the software presents them to the moderator, though.)

Strange world, that internet.  :)
