Ben, It makes sense when there is a legitimate product offered for sale in the spam email but what about the emails that just have a link with no text, or a bunch of nonsense, or I have even seen some with no link at all. Just seems like the intent is to piss people off but what is the financi

The major issue here is that it looks like Norm has had his email compromised in some way so that the spammer was able to get his address book and start spoofing emails from him. My list server has no way of knowing if it is spam or if Norm really wants to tell us all how much he loves Viagra.
