Nothing new there. What was different about this one is that I also had a dozen messages from various other recipients of that spam niblet, trying to unsubscribe. Near as I can figure, the incredibly clueless spammer who sent this one out set it up so that replies went to everyone on the mailing list.

That domain doesn't have a site attached to it, and the domain registration info is anonymized (of course). But the e-mail contains links to what seem to be legitimate sites: Magicsoft.tv and BroadcastEngineering.com. (I've sent queries to both sites, but neither had responded by press -- er, blog time.)

It's not clear whether either site has anything to do with the spam, though there's only one reason to send out junk e-mail, and that is money. Somebody got paid to do this by someone.

The larger point: Spam has pretty much killed e-mail for me.
