Ditto. They're still arriving on NANOG.

Oh, why ever not? :) (but then spam is part of my job, so I look
at this sort of junk every day.)

They're all (from a sample of about 15 or so) a redirect to the
same domain (with dodgy/slow DNS servers and a short TTL) which
has a redirect to another domain. At a quick glace the content
looks fairly innocous, just pure spam.

I just don't know why they think subscribers on all the tech lists
want to try and earn a few pounds a month like a "Single Mom(sic)
from London" apparently can.

Anyway, one address to add to our local ClamAV sigs. Back to the
usual schedule.
