Martin,
I've cc'ed some IDG reporters, in the hope that they might pick up on this
and cobble together a "Scourge Of The Internet" type of expose... ;-)

::
::
:: Heads up, a local spam operation...
::
:: Has anyone else been receiving spam from "email-prom.net" [12.42.24.22]
:: lately? The usual crap about how X million addressesee will buy stuff...
::
:: In this latest case the phone and fax numbers given are in Ponsonby/Grey
:: Lynn and Orewa/Silverdale/Whangaparaoa areas respectively.
::
:: A quick scan on call-minder for 09-3608038 reveals a mailbox
:: labelled "Deco
:: Marketing Solutions" (no information for the fax number 09-4268337). The
:: previous message used a mailbox in North America, so I don't expect they
:: actually live here, but on the off chance that they do, does anyone know
:: anything about these guys?
::
:: Normally I'd just firewall the IP, but if there's a chance of nailing
:: someone local I'll give them enough rope to hang themselves...
::
:: And any suggestions as to what we should do with these two phone numbers?
