Karl,
I have a feature on AOL which automatically deletes spam with the
subject lines that includes certain words like all the different spelling
of
Vigra etc so I don't see all of my spam. I use to get spam from the US,
Canada,, Nigeria and some places in Western Europe and even some from
China/Japan in their alphabet letters.
AOL delivers to my spam folders what it thinks is spam or what enough
other
people have reported as spam.
The reason I asked about the address book is I communicate with a pro
photographer in Chicago and something got into his computer and sent out
emails with his address on it to everyone in his address book.

I have my service providers antispam measures turned on so I rarely see
anything spam related that's why an apparently bounced message from RIT
containing an autoreply as well as the original message set of warning
bells - I have had autoreplies in the past from RIT and there have been
times when others have reported such occurrences too.
To solve hijacks, I have a spamtrap email account set up, one I created that
no one knows and is never used for anything - and it's set to relay to my
normal account, and I have a single email account in my address book and
that is my own - if anything ever hijacks the address book it will show
immediately as a bounce loop would result ! :)
I've seen contacts hijackers and recieved some rather personal messages from
someone who was extremely embarrassed when theirs was hijacked, hence me
immediately setting up the trap on my own account(s)
