The email below arrived in my in box. I would like to politely
request that no one support these spammers by giving them usable
traffic statistics or content.

Besides that, I'll be complaining to them and their ISP. It looks
like their ISP is xo.com, so if you'd like to send a complaint as
well, send it to abuse@xo.com. Make sure to include all of the
headers from the original message.

Regards,

Chris Russo
