    Righto. On the forum I run for work, we've had a huge influx of spammers. Most of them are using mail.ru, gawab.com or cashnette.com which are easy enough to bad/filter and leave the yahoo/hotmail/gmail folks alone.

    Thanks. I don't have an email address with my ISP account. Does Outlook Express count as banned email or could I use that.
