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.

>I want to emphasize the mail being spewed by them is *unsolicited*,
