ZDNet.Com

I find it rather interesting that even though I said no newsletters when subscribing to ZDNet.com with the spammailbag.com address I still managed to get newsletters from them... Newsletters with such horrid HTML that they actually fubar'd the site to the point where I had to remove one of them... The other I have left and after following the unsubscribe link it now says I'm actually not getting newsletters... I'm curious to see what will show up in my mailbox tomorrow. I've submitted this story to digg -- http://digg.com/security/SpamMailBag_com. Feel free to jump over there and bump up the level on it. I want to see how many people are harvesting addresses from digg. I'm also looking for other places to sign up / place addresses so if you have any ideas... please let me know.

Peace,
HT
