FYI only: There's a joe-job spam going round targeting what looks like a =
dump of ARIN and RIPE contact records so quite a few of you probably got =
it (we got a lot of copies ourselves). It is being sent probably by a =
Slavic spammer (judging by the grammar) and points to another Spamhaus =
joe-job posted last week to defamation site Ripoff Report by same Slavic =
spammer(s). The copies we got all come from MailChimp IPs and the =46rom =
line is "Steve Linford <SteveLinfordsh@gmail.com>" (apparently spammer =
thinks I use Gmail ;-)
