does that sound familiar, in regards to this bunch here?

A lot of people have infringed upon my trademark.
People tend to name companies without even checking domain names nor
trademark registration!
Then they try to "work around". 25 years ago, after I politely contacted
one infringer, he changed to "Xeno's Software Gameworks".
In those days, prior to major web existence, "Comdex List Of Exhibitors"
was a pretty authoritative demonstration of prior use.
For about 15 years, I've been dealing with "Xenosoft Technology", which is
an employment agency out of Texas and India. When they couldn't get
"xenosoft.com", they registered "xenosoft.us", and "xtglobal.com", but
often "accidentally" slip up and give out "xenosoft.com" as their address,
such as at tradeshows. r...@xenosoft.com, pad...@xenosoft.com,
m...@xenosoft.com, etc.
95% of the enormous volume of spam that I receive is for them. For years,
I assumed honest stupid mistake and I forwarded misaddressed mail to them,
and notified senders (mostly "current hotlist of candidates"), until
those headhunters started adding ME to their mailing lists, and it became
clear that xenosoft.us was still giving out wrong address, and not making
a good faith effort to get it right. Kinda a very mild DDOS attack.
(don't like somebody? put their address on mailing lists, that sell to
other mailing lists, . . . )
I started to learn .procmailrc, . . .
