No real worry from these folks. From there web page: Formal announcement from Domains on Disc. Tuesday, September 22nd, 1998 4:10PM PDT Due to the overwhelming amount of e-mail that we have received, Domains on Disc has decided to indefinitely suspend the sale of this product. It has never been our intention to have this product used as source for Unsolicited Commercial E-mail Apparently our decision to discontinue this product has not satisfied a few internet users who are currently sending out spam with our domains/e-mail addresses forged in the headers. To this date, no CD's have been pressed or shipped. We regret any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please feel free to contact us, should you have any questions.

All,
Looks like someone has catalogued all admin/billing/technical contacts and put them on a CD..... and is selling them. Could someone from the domains mentioned below take action against this fool ?

And here's his lovely spam. It was sent to my admin account, which rarely hits the public 'net. He must be marketing this CD to the contacts themselves !
