Hi,

I was having a minor problem with spamassassin 2.53 (OSIRUSOFT) and
decided to do a search for backports of Debian stable (Google spamassassin
site:people.debian.org) and this deceptive ad comes up, see below.

The ad mentions "SpamAssassin for Outlook" and links to
wwv.SpamAsassin.org, note the misspelling and wwv, not the usual www.  It
also doesn't mention SpamAssassin's trademark!  The link then redirects to
http://vww.spamcop.com/download.aspx?PID=A22090C and no mention of
SpamAssassin.

IANAL but it appears to me they are misrepresenting the trademark and the
misspelled domain name of SpamAsassin.org certainly appears deceptive to
me.

Here is a paste of the source of the google ad.
