Hmmmm, let me fill you in on some details. This is not e-pending. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a live address. It is just not used any more. I have 3 domains: progroup.com, myittybitty.com, and myitsybitsy.com. They should all resolve to 64.142.77.168. Some people have made me offers on the progroup.com domain and I am phasing it out. In fact, there should not be any legitimate use of the progroup.com address. I do get some good contacts from recruiters that have gotten the progroup address from an old resume database. I have worked on anti spam projects at Microsoft and Cisco. (http://www.myittybitty.com/resume20070823.htm) Before that I did contract programming work in SiliVali for over 10 years. I am not a spam expert, but I know enough to be dangerous. I keep ALL of my email. I have email going back to 1993 when I was connected to the net via uucp. I hate spam. So when I get lots of it I open up the messages to find out why it was not caught. They did not get my address from previous contact. Someone subscribed me to the efax account using an old spammers list. See bug 5921. Thanks for all the follow up and going the distance on this one. :) -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
