[OM] Fwd: Bounced Spam Drop Box

Subject: [OM] Fwd: Bounced Spam Drop Box

FYI,
The following was sent to abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx about the Cameradirect.com mail
drop (cameradirect@xxxxxxxxxxx) there.  Their using it as a mail drop
violates their "Policy and Member Conduct" rules.  I have snipped out the
mail headers.  You too can complain to abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx about the mail
you've been receiving.  Hotmail.com *does* request you cut and paste the
mail header in of the unwanted spam.
