Re: Harvesting E-mail addresses....... ??

Hi Leif -


Has anybody received a mail from: CIM365 - @technology.pentoneurope.com
here today ?

Penton in USA is known 'as' iSeriesNetwork. Penton Europe resides in UK.
(not 100% sure :-).
As far as I'm concerned, Penton is a spammer. I've never received anything from pentoneurope.com (maybe because I'm not in Europe <G>), but I block email from penton.com, pentontech.com, and pentonmedia.com. 


But when I lookup with 'Who Is' to find the sender of the mail, this shows up:

>OrgName:    Double Click, Inc.
>OrgID:      DOUBLE-3
>Address:    450 West 33rd Street 16th floor
>City:       New York
>StateProv:  NY
>PostalCode: 10001
>Country:    US

>NetRange:   216.73.80.0 - 216.73.95.255
>CIDR:       216.73.80.0/20
>NetName:    DOUBLECLICK-NET
>NetHandle:  NET-216-73-80-0-1
>Parent:     NET-216-0-0-0-0
>NetType:    Direct Assignment
>NameServer: NS1.DOUBLECLICK.NET
>NameServer: NS2.DOUBLECLICK.NET
>NameServer: NS3.DOUBLECLICK.NET
>NameServer: NS4.DOUBLECLICK.NET

'Double Click' is IMO not serious.
Is Penton Europe aware of this ??
Double Click, which has a number of different domains, is a major bulk emailer and spammer. I'm not at all surprised that Penton would use them.
