I was on the receiving end of some of this `junk mail' about 3 days
before it was posted to the net. The mail I got came from a machine
at purdue.edu.
A request to the postmaster@purdue.edu got the script removed and
an polite apology (thanks).
If I get any more automated junk mail I will have to write an
automated bounce script that throws it at the postmaster of the
offending site. 1/2 :-)
For those trying to figure out if the posting was real here is the
mail I got:

I don't know the person who sent it and they didn't respond to the query that I sent them in reply. Is this in the same category as what Pettitt is writing about?
