I'd vote for this being a legit case of pilot error on the
original user's part. Much to their shame, CapitalOne -does- use
BFI for sending out many of their mailings.

I even had to go so far as to whitelist_from_rcvd  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sent via bigfootinteractive.com

Now to be fair, CapitalOne isn't the only culprit in this crime,
email.discovercard.com & email.chase.com use BFI too.
