Ludwig,
For a while, I thought I was the only one getting this junk on AOL. A couple of weeks ago, I set up a new screen name (to test the system). I haven't sent any e-mail, been in any chat rooms, or been on the web using the new name, but I've still received spam. The only thing I can think of is that someone has gained access to the AOL mainframe to gather screen names.
Personally, I think it is a waste of time trying to block the senders e-mails, as just about every one I've received has a different sender. (usually something very obscure like XYZTR@hotmail.....)
