[Healeys] Hartnett Spam - Reply

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Gary:  Thank you for the words of support. I know it is annoying for the 
recipients but it is also annoying to me to receive 50 or more 'failed 
delivery' notices a day.  Hopefully, it will go away soon.  I am going to 
contact Earthlink and my security providers ASAP to see if they can help. 
Other options have been offered, also, that I may try.

Thanks again.

Len
