report the problem to their abuse team (or anyone in their tech
team). In all companies I worked for, I've seen few guys coming up
with bad "good ideas/initiatives". Most of the time, these were
stopped during internal discussions, but sometimes such initiatives
were only discovered later thanks to a complaint. so do complain,
but provide evidence (message with full headers).
Hi Dave, Mouss, and others,
I can confirm that this is an instance of a "marketer gone crazy,"
rather than a spam campaign:
- Desmond found Dave's name when he was looking for people in the
EDUCAUSE group who know about email.
- Dave's email address was taken from Mary Baldwin College's staff
directory (http://academic.mbc.edu/cis/search/facstaff/
namesearch.asp). It was not taken from the SA mailing list.
- The message to Dave was a one-to-one correspondence - it was not
part of a bulk mail-out.
Regards,
Ken
