Please don't post their e-mail address on any forams you vists as it would be awful if a spam bot picked up Email address deleted by mod and they were to be sent a lot of spam.
Perhaps the Spam Assassins would also like to send Email address deleted by mod some choice comments!

Re: Calling all Spam Assassins!
Where did I put my mail command hooked up to a cron? I know it's in my cshell folder somewhere.

the e-mail from or sender field is regularly spoofed by spammers.
the e-mail header MAY contain more useful server addresses.
Google for that e-mail shows no real spam activity yet.
strongly suggest moving this thread to " what the f... were we thinking ? "
followed quickly by deletion.

I have been unable to find any information indicating that this address is the source of unsolicited email activities. Therefore I believe that Solas is correct in his assessment. Plus, I consider it somewhat politically incorrect using the board to route spambot traffic from each individual's personal inbox.

I agree. However, since I once posted a quite similar message, I’d like to point out a distinction: in that case, the address had been used as a contact address in an advert for spamming services.
