        Dear Tom,

        Did you also download any demo software from Sunbelt? If so, in exchange for
you trying their software they ask that you accept their bulletins. HOWEVER,
back in early 2000 they had a spat with Vixie's RBL; and they went through all
600,000 subscribers by hand to clean up their bulletin list.

        Part of the problem was that they (Sunbelt) was given a list of 10,000 names
from a software publisher back in March 2000 to merge into their database; and
that's when the shit hit the fan because the supplied list was "dirty."

        If anyone is having a problem with ANY Sunbelt email, send a note to Ken at:
<mailto:listmanager@sunbelt-software.com> and he'll take care of it
immediately.
