Dear all,

for sorting reasons, I use a special e-mail account only for this list. 
Recently, I noticed that I also get spam to this account. Not with a 
high frequency (yet?) but still annoying.

Normally, it is not possible to extract e-mails from the web interface 
of the confocal archive, but when I searched with Google for the e-mail 
address in question it came up with quite a number of hits.

As far as I see it there are two types of such hits: one is a text-only 
version of a CONFOCALMICROSCOPY Digest, mentioning 10 senders with full 
e-mail address. The other type is replies to my own postings,  with the 
line
"On (date) at 1:36 PM, Steffen Dietzel <e-mail> wrote:"
also carrying the full address.

My questions:
1) do others note similar Spam?
2) is there something that can be done in the server configuration?

I don't mind getting notifications on the Olympus Bioscapes Competition, 
and even messages from CoolLED Life Sciences <[log in to unmask]> 
might be potentially interesting, but I can definitely do without "FLASH 
DAY TRADE ALERT" (from [log in to unmask]) or "Einkommen 
steigern!" from [log in to unmask]

Steffen
