> For much longer than I care to recall, I've been getting double and triple "spam" from MadCap, such that I'd just ignore it for a few weeks, then do a mass delete. ...
In fairness, what happened in my case was that the mail that got caught in postini was MadCap's own announcement of the release of Flare 8. Therefore I wasn't aware of it until a few hours later when I received an e-mail from our purchasing agent that had been sent to her from MadCap and contained the upgrade URL and license key.
This sounds similar to your situation so that's an eye-opener that your license could end up in the Twilight Zone if the person leaves or changes roles. I agree, this is unsettling. I'm sure it happens all the time in big corporations.
