I have a couple very anti-Bush emails that arrived in my outlook this afternoon, from someplace called 'misleader.com'. I have never heard of them or their site until now and I would like to know how they got my email address.
Blocking is somewhat satisfying but it would be more fun to make their lives miserable in some small way, whoever they are.
Has anyone else been getting strange garbage like that?
Do a 'whois' on the domain, and if any discrepencies show, complain to their domain registrar.
Here's the joy about "misleader.com": It's a person!

Send me the complete email to turk82_1@yahoo.com. Chances are, this boob sent it from work - in which case you can call his employer and complain about it.

I would depend on your firewall/virus software. It sems to me you should always reject anything you are not familier with (butyou may need to unreject as lots of links here upset my little firewall hehe)
misleader was an ad moveon.org was running in 2003. Just a thought
