Hi Yasha,

    I would like to know the answer too.

    In the mean time, make sure your web pages do not
have "MailTo:" any tags.  If someone wants to eMail you,
make them use a form.  Robots harvest these tags.

    A few of my colleagues in this area would install an
exchange server in a customer's bath tub if allowed.
I tell myself that Exchange is all they know, but sometimes
I wonder if they are making work for themselves.  Exchange
servers require a lot of fussing.  One customer had
one workstation and one Exchange server.  Now that was
make work.
