People, it is generally preferred to at least send an email to the other party (spam@aberro) in order to avoid any confusion. Here's the reply I got from that person: <div class="gmail_quote"> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <<a href="mailto:spam@aberro.co.uk" target="_blank">spam@aberro.co.uk</a>> Date: 2009/6/20 Subject: Re: Ubuntu-cy subscription notification To: Savvas Radevic <<a href="mailto:vicedar@gmail.com" target="_blank">vicedar@gmail.com</a>> Hi, I'm sorry to alarm you. The address is simply used for load testing an open source webmail product I'm writing, this is why I subscribed. I'm not a spambot or anything of the like - this is just a disposable email address I'm using for the time being to put the code through its paces.
