Attack?

The vast majority of spam has bogus From.  I don't characterize spam by
its From, and I don't generally use the term 'from' when I am talking
about spam, because some people think from means the From and some
people think from means the spamsource and some people think from means
the spamvertiser.  In this case, you happen to be talking about a From,
but you didn't say if the items were actually sourced at that From -- as
in 'straightup' spam which the spamsource IP = the From = the
spamvertiser.  Sometimes one or another of those aren't 'exactly' the
same.

If you want to talk about a spam, you should post a tracking url for it.

Submit one of these spams which you are trying to characterize with
words to the parser, copy the parser's tracking URL from the top of the
parse which is presented before reporting or cancelling which looks
like:

Here is your TRACKING URL - it may be saved for future reference:
http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z947257742zeb31a0c0c0e741292976ccd30c0f752cz

and copy that tracking URL and paste it in here.  When you try to
describe a spam it is no good.

I seem to recall that you are a spamcop mail account subscriber.  So,
your spam should be easily reported.  If these items are not being
caught by your current configuration of spamfilters, then there are many
ways to tighten up your filtering.  Is it possible that you have
subscribed to a mailing list which causes you to be receiving similar
mails?

I also seem to recall that you have some kind of jwspamspy software.

If I search for sortnoxington.com - it doesn't turn up very many places
except for posts by you and it also shows up on the jwspamspy page
