How long have I been having my website right in my signature here, and my server reports no volatile attacks perhaps my settings are they way they should be in my case :-). To get email spam and virus through email yes bots can starta "email generation loop" that will forcebly land on your email sooner or later, same thing for websites ultimately. but there's nothing any server or email can do about those robots. and showing your URL doesn't jeopardize your online presence (website that is). If it was the case, your website would be in trouble just by submitting it to search engines (since the URL must be correct with no spaces) for the search bots to do their jobs :-). -- St�phane Richard "Ada World" Webmaster http://www.adaworld.com "Preben Randhol" wrote in message news:slrnbpi9tt.5es.randhol+valid_for_reply_from_news@kiuk0156.chembio.ntnu.no... > On 2003-10-24, Adrian Hoe wrote: > > > > Come on guys.
