I didn't think spammers were smart enough to know how to clean their lists.

I'm with you and trying to figure out the motivation for the emails. They are not advertisements and contain no attachments. We have had at least 20 people receive the exact same email which is: Fred, It was nice to talk to you today I will send the proposal tonight. I'm blocking the sending domain because I don't like it but like yourself I'm trying to chase it down.
