I have an old address that I had to stop using a couple of years ago when I was the target of a spam bomb and someone started sending out several hundred thousand e-mails an hour using my return address. It brought my ISP's servers to a grinding halt. I would turn the old address back on every so often to see if they were still trying to use it. They caught on pretty quick, but I never went back to using the address so if I get email there it's almost always spam. The dead give away is when I have two identical e-mails in a row. I still have the old address forwarded to my new address, in case my late Mom tries to email me using the only address she had. When I see one message to the old address followed immediately by one to the new address I can be sure it's spam.

My FRiend, may I make the gentle observation that while I'm sure your Mom is now in a far better place, I doubt seriously if that place has email service?
