Idiotic Newstar Networking Equipment Sales Droid
Did anyone here get spam from this idiot? It appears someone is harvesting email addresses from nanog. If you do get any contact from this company PLEASE do not do business with them and tell them you don't buy from spammers. The bottom line is the only thing idiots like this understand and if we buy from them, they'll be encouraged to spam more nanog folks. The guy knows it's wrong as he doesn't even use his own name on the email, so we have to deny purchasing from anyone in the company to have an effect. scott --- Begin forwarded message: From: broadcast@nstnetmail.com To: surfer@mauigateway.com Subject: XENPAK/X2/XFP Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:28:45 +0800 Hello, How are you?

I avoid that by only accepting mail to the address I use on this list from nanog.org. I have the reply-to header set to nanog@nanog.org, so no-one should be attempting to mail me directly..... -- John

I've been added to several used-equipment sales droids lists after posting here; I just procmail them straigt to the spam folder. I've also been recently added to some Internap newsletter list (without even an opt-out option). Way to make sure I never buy from you! -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
These guys don't get it. IF they call and pester me they miss out on a lot of sales.
