There's been a fair bit of spam lately.

I'm seeing 2 sources.

Source 1 is someone is sending to addresses used on paddlewise.  I've
contacted the senders ISP, with any luck that address will be monitored
and the company will be nuked.  This is strictly not allowed by the
terms of subscribing to paddlewise, if I can figure out the underlying
subscription I'll terminate that subscriber.  I've already added their
firm to the list of banned paddlewise content.

Source 2 is from cracked hotmail/aol/yahoo accounts.  If you have a
simple password please turn it into a real password

Syracuse university looks to have decent directions on how to make an
easy to remember hard to crack password
http://its.syr.edu/accounts/psswdsug.cfm  

My preference is for using the first letter of each word from a
phrase/song/poem - with some numbers to replace letters or words.
