Thanks for the bad news. :-) I had thought of that possibility but
wondered (as a result of an included ip that matched my 192... address)
whether someone had used a sendmail exploit to relay email through my
computer.

Tonight all of a sudden mplayer is dieing while playing audio feeds.
It's happened on two feeds and I can't reconnect either feed. I'm
also suddenly getting porno email from an address of a company in TX
that advertises legal services. I wonder if I have pissed off yet
another soul somehow. All I did was email an article about George
Bush & Co to a couple of my closest friends. :-)
