Bots happening?

It would seem that I have been the victim of a 'Spam Bot' I now have no e mail facility to speak of and having received over 3000 e mails a day, have had to shut down my old e mail address.. Of course this could have had a big impact on the Band, having to sort through the genuine mail. However we are cleverer that that in the OBB and between us have still managed to run the bookings system, with a bit of tweaking, and some invaluable help from Pete the Bari. It was very spooky though when I contacted my ISP. They took over my PC remotely and did a bit of investigating as to the cause of the problem. I have found this fascinating and have learned allot more about PC's. Also I have had some great advice from Tech support on the Internet, and have been taught how to address the problem if it ever happens again. I have a new address now and am running multiple accounts, impressed or what.
