Ordinarily, I'd trim off the administrivia, but it's so apropo just now... Um, maybe the guy is so frustrated at the failure of the unsubscribe instructions to work for him that he's punishing us by forwarding phishing spam? I'm sure it's not his problem, but I had a problem with this list and some others a few years ago, when my company merged with another and changed our e-mail address scheme. They continued accepting inbound e-mails to the old address for a couple of years, but the outgoing mail switched over to show it coming from the new address. Guess how easy that made it to confirm anything to the list server. :-) In some cases there was a webbish alternative for making account changes.... but that still resulted in a confirmation request being sent to the original address. Lotsa fun. In some cases, it took months to finally get straightened out, and needed help from the list server admin. - Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
