Re: EHelp's Deceptive Email Practice

Since you asked, yes. Instead of charging them with a spammer's crime, you 
could have said that they may want to rethink their addressing, since it 
resembles a spammer trick and therefore may be filtered out without being 
read. Big difference between saying "You're dishonest" and "Your email 
looks like it was sent in a way used by dishonest spammers."

But that's just me....

I got a marketing email from RoboHelp today. The sender was
Help.Topics@<my_company> instead of Help -dot- Topics -at- ehelp -dot- com -dot-  Now, that's a
trick I've only seen spammers use and it just doesn't feel right. I sent 
the
following in reply. Think I'm being a crank?
