Today I got this mail:

From: Joni Ellsworth
User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2 (Macintosh/20050317)
To: nico@ngolde.de
Subject: Mutt NG Developers Mailing List
Nico,

I was reading your posts on the Mutt NG Developers mailing group
yesterday, and think our site may be of interest to you. It will put all
the posts from the group on one page, and keep your inbox cleaner.

There is nothing to buy, and there is a video demo, if you like. If you
do get a chance to check it out, let me know what you think of it - I
value your opinion.

The site addy is http://www.roomity.com.

Thanks!

Do humans write spam today? This doesn't look like automated spam...
But whoever wrote it, it is a very good spam, hard to detect by spamassassin
or other baysian filters. "mailing group.."

I got an identical spam except for the list name. Send a complaint with full headers to their network provider: abuse@he.net

Oh I have abuses because in most cases they will not helpand they are only a drop in the bucket. In the last days I wrote an abuse about an IP which tries to brute force my server and the funny thing was that I noticed that the person who tried this was the owner of the ISP himself (Leon Croese).

he.net is usually good about terminating spammers if they actually get complaints.
