I've never replied to any spam filter emails. I also only use this address
for the silver list and have never received any spam except for these types
of messages at this address. In my opinion any email asking to verify your
address is designed to add you to a spam list. This is also why I never
send return receipts. Also I'd like to see any virus send email to everyone
on my list. Since my address book is in my head should probably copy it
down into a notebook so I don't lose any. Sincerely Joseph Fritz

Hi Mike,
I checked the header:

Dear Mike Monett,
...rest omitted...
-------------------------------------------------------------
The email was sent privately to me.
It seems to look like he paid for this service, and it went through
his address book where it found my address.
But why my address was in there, and why the email had the following
Subject line is very strange:
Subject: RE: Re: CS>$$$ perpectives (verification)
That doesn't look like a legitimate reason for verifying an email
address by a legitimate service from someone who doesn't want to
talk with me.
I remain a bit sceptical.
Best Regards,
Mike Monett
