      In the war against spam, its getting harder to figure out who
      the good guys are.  Last weekend, we had an incident where a server
      called pure.fiber.net was relaying thousands of spam messages off
      one of our mail servers.  While we have filters in place to block
      the obvious spammers (cyberpromo and others), we don't learn about
      new ones until they cross the line (or we get them from Paul's
      site at http://www.vix.com/spam -- thanks Paul!).

Indeed things are getting strange, look at this letter I got in my mailbox
this morning...
