I got one Monday from uunet relayed through earthlink, which adverstised
some LD service. The spam advised me to check their website at
http://205.199.212.65 which is one of you-know-who's /24s. The message
was dated 5-13, but it was sent from a uunet dialup on may 26th.
So much for truth in advertising.
By the way -- Is it just me or is Earthlink becoming the premier spam
relay on the internet? I'm getting lots of crap from PSI and uunet
dialups, relayed via earthlink.
