Hi Guys, We admit that this looked like spam a lot. I actually called the people who sent it for us and complained. The company who own this database and emailed it for us are MSD2D, they have worked for years for Microsoft building their trade show list and catalogs. That's why you are on their list.
Here is included the answer from their Pres, who explained why it looks like this. --------------------------------------------------------- "In response to your email today I admit that it has the appearance of Spam. We apologize for that. We usually send these type of announcements with our reply address but it was a last minute mailer and we had already use our regular mail box for our weekly Security newsletter. It was important that we get that notice out to people who we thought might be attending Tech-Ed as Sunbelt was accidentally left out of a proper position in the Microsoft Exchange Directory. " David Cragg President --------------------------------------------------------- Understandably you assumed it was spam, with a juno address as the sender. Turns out this -is- what they use for their returns. An unfortunate choice to say the least. Hope this clarifies the situation.

I'm merely pointing out the difference here ;) If Tom's talking about the same message I got today, it was "targeted" to TechEd attendees, and not to any and every @$$hole who has ever browsed Sunbelt's website (i.e. their normal "targeted" audience). Of course, Sunbelt's messages in this case can still be construed as being vaguely requested (I get a boatload of junk from MEC/TechEd vendors) - it is assumed that all MEC/TechEd vendors get the list of attendees. The question remains why Sunbelt chose this particular message to look extremely spammy (See Tom's note re: roving.com and juno). -----Original Message----- From: Akerlund, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 29-May-03 6:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: Subject: RE: SpamBelt Not only that, but since lots of us asked to be on the mailing list of Sunbelt.com it's not spam because we "opted" to have them send us that kind of stuff.
