Well, NCR eCommerce is a legit division of NCR (http://www.ncrecommerce.com/ncrecommerce/default.htm). I guess this is one of those "one person's spam is another's ham" situations. If it were a message sent to me, I would consider it spam because I am not a subscriber to Equifax's service(s). I always thought Equifax was one of the credit reporting agencies. They're involved in more than that? You could always go through the unsubscribe link and unsubscribe but also do whatever is necessary for your SA install to mark any further messages from them as SPAM. Just my $0.02. HTH. Joe K.
