> Maybe Yahoogroups will respond by improving their anti-spam tools. I'd really suppose that seven

thousand emails all with exactly the same header going out
to one destination in a 9-hour period
should have alerted *something*.

That was adding to your problem? because you were being
copied I presume.

None of my mail was actually coming from Yahoo, it was being
sent direct from xtra.

> I couldn't even go to bed and leave mail autocheck running because my ISP has a policy of disconnecting one automatically after 4 hrs online. The only way to beat this is to disconnect and reconnect every 3.9 hours.

I use a package called VPOP on my server which dials up at
preset times if I am not connected and downloads all my
eMail from various sites and distributes them to various
local users ( my family ). No need to stay on-line and it
keeps your ISP end low even when you are away. It's only
UK£40 for a 5 user minimum system.
