This SPAMMER thinks he's slick trying to hide his SPAM in what looks like
a personal note, I've already done a Whois on Xoon.com and found their
server to be geo.net. I sent notice to geo.net that their client was
spamming and pointed out the laughable aoll.com domain in the return
address.
Note: Xoom.com was registered as a domain only two weeks ago.
Considering the slickness of the SPAM and the short existence, I noted
that the administrative contact for Xoom.com was Chris Kitzke whose email
is listed as being on Infospace.com. I've also sent a copy of the SPAM
and the Whois finding to the Postmaster at infospace.com.
If more shows up from this site, I'll let everyone know.

Subject: Hey! Long time, no speak!
What's been up?
Hope the holidays are going well! Everyone's great here; we're planning a
big trip to the mountains next month and might even get a new dog. We
were
all so sad when Bounder died, but the kids know he's gone to "woof-woof"
heaven and is happier there.
Listen, I really wanted to drop you a line and tell you about the Xoom
Software Network, this great new software service on the Net. Xoom gives
you 17 titles worth more than $500 for just $29.95 and you download
everything directly from their Web site!
I subscribed last week at http://www.xoom.com/bounder.htm ; check it out
right away; you'll be glad you did!
Please give a warm "Hello" to everyone on that end for me. Oh, and by the
way, that stain came out of our sofa, so there won't be any lawsuit after
all.
Talk to you soon!
PS: I almost forgot to tell you! There's a wonderful picture of Bounder
(in livelier times) up on the Xoom Home page -- check him out at
http://www.xoom.com/bounder.htm.

And is it possible to arrange for this jerk to follow Bounder to "woof-woof heaven"? for that I'd send flowers, even.
