Re: spam and who you formerly were

I don't see that the original complainant has anything to be embarrassed
about.  If your company did not inform the people you were mailing that it
is the new DBA identity of a company they  previously signed on to receive
information from, your messages were indistinguishable from SPAM. You still
did it to yourselves.
