I don't like it and would ask for your cooperation to put a stop to it. Most of the UBE I receive looks dishonest to me. I am sure your company isn't like that but you would do well to avoid using or permitting the same methods as these "spammers" lest you be tarred with the same brush. Also, you may be aware that a growing number of ISPs are taking to blocking incoming mail from "spam" domains. I don't want that to happen because I might lose legitimate mail and you might be inconvenienced. --- Copy of offending material follows --- whatever....the "offensive" mail goes here
