Clueless is the operative word. Bet whoever sent you that message dropped (or was thrown) out of law school and is that sophomoric stage of learning about computers and 'the net' where their 'Big Brother' complex shines through.

In the war against spam, its getting harder to figure out who the good guys are. Last weekend, we had an incident where a server called pure.fiber.net was relaying thousands of spam messages off one of our mail servers. While we have filters in place to block the obvious spammers (cyberpromo and others), we don't learn about new ones until they cross the line (or we get them from Paul's site at http://www.vix.com/spam -- thanks Paul!).
