Spam not a problem? hmm, this sounds like one who does not even accept
communications from large parts of the internet..

Hmm, I am gonna try sending you an email directly from my gmail
account. Legitimate email, replying to a message you posted..

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

   mouse () rodents montreal qc ca

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 16): 554-This appears to actually be a
gmail message; gmail mail is not accepted because they hide the actual
origin.
554 Webmail injected from RFC1918-private addresses not accepted

hmm, guess thats one way to beat spam
