About 30 a day. as they come from unrecognised email address (non friendly) they are automatically placed in my bulk mail folder....one click and they are deleted. Not realy a problem. However I do have a problem with somebody continually trying to access (spiking) my system when on scoobynet. thank god for friewalling etc

I too get LOADS!
I get around 150-200 emails a day (including scoobynet related emails), and I reckon 30 of those are junk / spam mail!!!
no way round it that i know of though, unless you just have one email address that you keep for things like bbs's and news groups, etc.

There can be no relation between you being on scoobynet and someone "spiking" your system. It's either a coincidence or it is just ScoobyNet communicating with you for a legitimate internet traffic purpose.
Thought it was important to point this out as hysteria can soon spring up through comments like that.
