Andrew,
The NeoMail project's only member is me. I have nothing to do with this
guy, and though I'm happy he's happy with NeoMail, this is clearly
inappropriate behavior. I'm copying this mail to the perpetrator address as
listed in your forward, so he understands that I don't encourage this type
of behavior, but I don't have any affiliation with him. I'd have been
plenty happy if NeoMail hadn't become as popular as it is, and would
certainly not be advertising, as I can't really handle the NeoMail-related
e-mail I receive now as it is.
When you say "further damage," you imply my reputation is already
damaged in the open-source community as-is, which I don't believe it to
be -- unless someone were to mistake these mails as being originated by or
condoned by me, and you are referring to this incident. Hence my response
to the list, hopefully clearing my name since you've opted to submit the
accusation to the list as well.
Wait a second... upon rereading this mail I did in fact notice a mail in
my inbox this morning from someone in Australia ranting about how much he
liked NeoMail and that he had wasted money on a commercial solution prior to
finding it. The mail is at home, but I'd wager this is the same guy. In
any case, I'm sorry that he got a bit overexcited, and I hope everyone
understands I had nothing to do with it.
If you need anything further from me feel free to reply to this address.
Thanks!
Ernie Miller

Dear Ernie Miller,
I'm forwarding you this piece of spam that was recently sent
to debian-security mailing list. It is also archived at
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200204/msg0007
3.html>. Being
unable to find a Marcel Welschbillig listed on your SourceForge
project page, I have decided against forwarding this to SourceForge
abuse staff in the present time seeing as I am unable to determine
whether this spam was authourised or not by you anyone acting on
behalf of the NeoMail project. However, this piece of spam has been
previously listed on the Razor <http://razor.sourceforge.net> webiste
as spam which would leave me to believe that this is not a one-off
incident. Please take action to stop further spam if you do know this
person or else it unsolicted advertising promoting your project will
only further damage your reputation among the opensource community.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau

HAPPY LINUXING !
Marcel
