The most ironic I find these days are the ones that start out "Get rid of SPAM now".
As for the Systemworks emails, there was a write-up a few weeks ago, forget by who (could of been CNET), in which this was addressed. Apparently, a large number of surplus copies of Systemworks were purchased by some lesser known vendors who have nothing to do with Symantec itself. These vendors are the ones who have been doing the spamming. Symantec was questioned, and they officially stated they did not agree with the vendors sales tactics, but had little control over their actions. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Heitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 1:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Spam from Symantec That's almost as bad as the amount of SPAM I receive advertising the Chubb Institute and DeVry University.

I would think that this would be a scam to try and get credit card numbers etc... If it was legitimate, I think I will switch to linux sooner than planned.
