On a similar note, has anyone received spam from any of the following?

makemoney838458585@bu.astra.co.id
cablenews4u@bigfoot.com
wtr3@aol.com
suzan235499@bellsouth.com
gft6@aol.com
cdnames@flashmail.com

The only place I've e-mailed has been LUGNET, or friends/lugnet users, so
they didn't get my address from a news-group. [this started arriving from
about the start of the month] If no-one else has received these, I'll have
to look elsewhere.

BTW, the last one is the worst...advertising CD's full of names...And if
they can e-mail an add to you, odds on you're already on the CD.

(...) I've checked my spambox, I didn't find anything specifically from these guys. I do have: 4 from bigfoot.com 34 from aol.com 1 from penrevc.flashmail.com With dates ranging from 7/31/99 to 4/10/00. FWIW, - jsproat (26 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
