    sounds like a bit of spam,
    I recently have had multiple stuff, mainly selling fake stock market news

    Bustards circulate your addy once they have it, so it gets repeated, I just get my email prog to auto delete

    well email works likes this…

    send and receive…
    get a list of messages…
    download 1..5
    when the last message, it then tells the server that 5 was downloaded..

    or it downloads the lot again, so the confirmation at the end of the 5 needs to get through, not too much of a problem these days with broadband here unlike the past slowness
