Correct, and moreover it's generally conceded that having a perl script insert "Dear Robert" at the beginning of the email message is insufficient for it to not be "bulk", particularly if it's general and has nothing to do with any kind of specialized knowledge of your company beyond the fact that you have an email address. This sure looks like bulk mail merge to me.
As the email appears to be one to one,
Have you gotten a copy too, or are you just idly speculating here?
though a remarkably persistent one to one, I would suggest procmail, unless you know heâ(TM)s harvested nanog and is sending the same offer mail merged to a bunch of operators.
Gee, it's almost as if by posing a question to nanog@ like "Has anyone else received spam from X", I might be trying to ascertain an answer to precisely that question. -r
