I called this number, and got a secretary who was probably being infinitely patient, given the amount of negative calls she's probably handled. She gave me the name of the person responsible for the mailing (Steve Wallace) and said that she would have him call me. Amazingly(!) he *did*... and he appologised! I pointed him at http://kenjen.com/nospam ...a site which will filter email lists, for free, based on people who have stated they do not want unsolicited email (not all of these sites are legitimate). These are probably people who were suckered into buying a CDROM from Cyberpromo or some other shady company. This is probably the most reasonable response I've *ever* gotten to one of my replies to a SPAM (other than victim relay sites I've helped modify their sendmail.cf files to reject relays or SPAM source addresses, and the one call I made to Interpol about an SPAM from Access Point Corporation using an Italian relay to advertise a pornographic web site).
