so paypal has an ignorebot now?

[Paul Vixie <vixie () isc org>]

listen up guys. when i get a fraudulant paypal e-mail i try, as a favour
to the owner of the brand, to put it where your security team can see it.
i could simply delete it. (i also blackhole the source, but that's not
related.) 

let me say that again: i'm doing you a favour.

i will not stop my e-mail work flow to use a web browser and cut/paste.
that'll never happen. i get too much e-mail, and too much spam, to make
that possible. the imposition you'd be asking is way more than the good
will i've got on hand.

based on the reply below, i do not believe that paypal thinks that i am
doing them a favour, and so, i will stop reporting the brand-fraud that
hits my inbox.

nice going guys. now you're right up there with google.
