Hmmm, what gits!
Just in case that email was addressed to this Chris (Barker), thanks for that
warning, Ian, but I don't receive that sort of email either.
My personal domains are set up to use Google Apps for the email system, and if
I want to check them online I go to www.google.com/a/domainname.
I suspect that this is an effective further filter of spam and malware. On the
odd occasion I do a full search of my Mail client I do see the odd bit of spam,
but it doesn't appear in any of the mailboxes that I normally check.
And, as you note, this is nothing to do with LI.
