Absolutely!  What with this account (and lists), my personal account (and
lists) and the handful of FaxYourMP.com addresses I receive, I probably get
half a dozen most days.

I also get an inordinate quantity of worms and viruses, mainly to
FaxYourMP.com accounts.  I often receive copies before the AV vendors mail
me alerts too.  Good thing they don't affect me using pine by SSH, innit

The volume I receive means I just delete them.  I don't care enough to have
the time to forward them somewhere, I'm afraid.

I'm wandering wildly off-topic again, aren't I?  Sorry 'n' all...
