We have noticed an appreciable amount of Bounces and Virus Notification, 
which we are automatically Dropping with Our SPAM Zapper Product.

Both SPAM and Viruses have been on the increase for several years now.  
In the not too distant Future, we will be offering FREE E-Mail addresses 
on the No-JunkMail.com Web Site.  As a Pittsburgh Native, I'll be sure 
to announce when this is available.
