You gave good advice, but not about the problem I'm having. I receive all
email sent to my domain, regardless of the name. The spammers are not using
any email address that I've given out. They are making them up. I do not
ever send email using that address. They aren't sending the spam to me, but
to others. I am hoping that there is some clearing house for the spam
blocking programs to let them know that any email from that domain is spam.
And no, I don't care to change my url.
