Facebook does not spam.
Then they're picking on me, because the only way in which the mail they've aimed at me can be non-bulk is if they're doing it to only me (or some tiny subset including me - which subset would have to include people as unrelated as Paul Vixie, based on his mail here a few weeks ago). There's sure no question of it being email or unsolicited, leaving only the "bulk" leg of the UBE tripod in question. (Yes, the mail is substantively identical; the one I got to my netbsd.org address, the one Paul Vixie reported, and the one I got to a mailing list(!), all look identical except for mailmerge-style customizations.) It also has opt-out links, which, like all good spammers' remove-list links, are Web-only - they even call it "unsubscrib[ing]", implying that victims are on a list, not just getting one-offs. Even if it's somehow not spam, it's sure going out of its way to look like it. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
