   I am on thye Net since 1993, and I am in c.l.py since 1994. Most of
addresses I had been using are still receiving or forwarding mail for me. I
am getting a LOT of spam :( I filter it using Spam Bouncer
(www.spambouncer.org, clever procmial filter), and I complin about remaining
spam using free service at SpamCop.Net. I even wrote Python progrm for
SpamCop: http://spamcop.net/reporter.py.
