Perhaps coincidently, while I was out of town earlier this week on a
business trip, it appears that someone (probably some spammer) took it
upon himself/herself to send out a bunch of spam E-mails which looked
like they were trying to sell my commercial junk E-mail filter.
Neither I nor my company had anything to do with this and it is clearly
a frame-up job intended to embarrass me and my company and to cause us
trouble.
If and when I catch the perp, I'm going to have my attorney pound his balls
flat with a very heavy legal mallet.
P.S. Do a web search for `flowers.com' to get information about another
case in which a spammer forged the name of someone else's domain. Basically,
the spammer was made to pay for the damages.
