Re: *** ADMIN: Spamming

About 4 months ago, I moved all my mass mailing traffic off my
corporate server to a gmail account.  The ONLY thing that goes to this
account is traffic from Ignite400 & Midrange.com .

Since then, I haven't received ANY spam in this account. I've not
heard from Rochester Initiative or anyone else on this account.  I
suspect that RI purchased a "compiled list" of AS/400 users.  We once
bought one (it was a POS), and were shocked when we saw all the
personal / home data that was there ... unfortunately, the list
vendors are looking for cash in advance!  If anyone wants to know who
the vendor was, please contact me off list.

RI has been very aggressive in their eMailing ... unfortunately the
folks who compile these lists are the folks who should be targeted!

... just my $.02
