I can tolerate the VBox mailing list announcements, which don't really appear to be soliciting business in any way, and they do in fact represent an activity of which I am a participant. However, that first one about next-gen firewall clearly is something else altogether. Besides the fact that it is literally tacky as hell, its appearance on the bottom of "my" email makes it appear to represent something as if from me, and that is false. In effect it is hijacking my email for its purpose. Not only that, now I am wondering whether it would have an effect on a digital signature in some arcane way? Indeed, if I take this to its logical conclusion, it is no exaggeration to say that this "turns me off" to that product and disinclines me from wanting it, ipso facto.
