Has anyone else received email similar to this? I haven't got the headers yet because this was forwarded to me by management. megasuccess.net isn't listed in InterNIC but there are similar domain names. I don't want to contact or complain about the wrong organization or people. Replies to me only by email, unless this is some massive UCE campaign, please.
Maybe they have already been shutdown by their provider?

Hello,
Please forgive the intrusion.
Your email address is on a list that we purchased.
Realizing that these lists are often compiled without your knowledge this is our attempt to clean this list before we begin mailing. It is not an attempt to verify that your email address is valid. We use an automated mail system that deletes undeliverable email (invalid addresses). Since you are reading this email we already know your address is valid.
If you DO NOT want to receive mail reply with "REMOVE" in the subject
Not to jump too hard, but a whole lot of people agreed that spam was not usually a topic of interest on NANOG. So if you won't post spam to Nanog, I won't point out how flawed the anti-spam methods are, nor will I be tempted to explain why anti-spam methods eventually backfire on network operators. --Dean At 10:28 PM 1/10/1999 -0500, Alan Spicer wrote: line.
Please make sure remove is in subject line or mail software will delete your reply. Mail is not read so yelling, screaming or sending threats will not get you on remove list. Only the word "REMOVE" will work.
You will be placed on our remove list and not receive any email from us again.
We DO NOT want anybody on our list to receive email that does not want to be there.
If you are one of the small group of people who believe that you have the right to decide what email everyone on the internet should receive, and are going to email every organization you can find to request that you not receive any more email from us, then please remember to include us in your mailing with "REMOVE" in the subject. Otherwise you will have wasted a lot of people's time and still receive email from us.
Thank you all for understanding.
Sincerely,
Bob Beaudoin Webmaster MegaSuccess
