I'd say people stealth marketing - where they are sending to a different name than yours, they give a different name than their email address, etc. Take them out and grind them up. Use the remains for fertilizer! Not that I'm sick of getting the latest stock tip, nor am I enraged because someone things I need enhanced!<G>

How do you separate the good from the bad? And how do you deal with the 5 in a hundred that receive the good spam, and get irritated and flag this messaging as SPAM and it's BAD? This is a very ugly black hole to get into. Much like your normal snail mail delivery you have to discard what you don't want. We are lucky that we can set filters, or buy into third parties who do the same thing with reaction from a group off the internet.
