    One: a bot gets in, and it searches methodically for all users that allow emails to be sent to them from other users. (this is slow and not worth the spammers time though).
    Ron,

    I was too quick and didn't think. Already deleted before remembering I could learn from them.

    I do believe it was a bot though. The way I could tell it came from FAOL was I noticed a number of names in the "Sent To" list I recognized from FAOL. As an example I do not know any "OhioTuber" from anywhere except FAOL. This guy was a true moron - didn't even use "blind copy"!

    Hope that helps.
