Yeah, and to mine. Over and over and over. Just in the past 24 hours, just
from one botnet, just sent to one dormant address from a piece of ratware
that HELO's as a random string of digits, and so it wouldn't get delivered
/anyway/:

That's out of 691 delivery attempts, making shawcable.net responsible
for 1.3% of all botnet traffic received here yesterday by that mailbox.

But if you can distinguish yourself from the sewer-like neighborhood
you're in, with static IP and non-generic rDNS, I'd be happy to receive
mail from you.
