Al: Pubsnet is real. It is based near where I live.
The emails aren't necessarily from them. As I said in
another post, I report all of them as SPAM.

PUBSNET is real, and Mike Doyle is aware of the problem (and trying to
get it fixed...he's been working with the company that owns the
servers).

I've received a slew of them, too, but mine are getting trapped at my
server (I thought I was missing out ;-), but then I checked my spam
box). Once he gets the problem fixed, I'll add PUBSNET to the
whitelist.

BTW, if you are able to see the email headers, you can tell if a
domain has been spoofed...the return path shows the server where the
email originated. (The return path and the "from" information don't
usually agree in a spammed message.) For example, in one of the PayPal
spoofs I've received, the Return Path is <anon -at- spamdomain -dot- com>, while
"From" is <service -at- paypal -dot- com>.
