Hey, Brett, does this service also work the "other" way too?  I have a
commercial website for my wife's baby blankets business and some jerk has
used our e-mail address associated with that website as the "from" address
when he sends out porno stuff.   Our ISP says the only way to stop it is to
change our address.  The only way I know about all this is that we keep
getting mail bounce notices on the porno messages.
