A couple of days ago I received an advertising eamail that was sent
from my main email address to the same email address. Does this mean
it has to have been sent from my computer, or at least from my isp?

Thanks
Mike

Just another way to bypass anti-spam measures. -Dave >> Stay informed about: email adds

I have PC-Cillin 2008, Spybot, AdAware and a firewall in my router. I thought I was as safe as I could make it, thouggh I didn't expect my system to be impervious to those who know how to get around the defences.
