Yep, I got one from the signbiz guy too. It's actually not from him,
it's from "SpamArrest" (see: www.spamarrest.com), a company that
supposedly provides spam protected e-mail by doing sender verification
for you. I've always suspected that they harvest e-mail addresses for
the purposes of sending out spam or at least selling the list to other
people who send out spam. Now I know for sure.
Sadly, I've got about two dozen users who have signed up for it and
are using it. To make matters worse, it pops their e-mail every 2
minutes around the clock. *sigh*
