Its never been used on any lists nor at any sites for registration. Though I'd suspect it's the same and my address getting harvested from freenet[dot]de or anywhere else. There is no business involved with my domain. I usually let these slide and just learn and spam, report, and continue on, since this one was not being cooperative thought I'd seek the knowledge of the masses. One thing I did do besides reporting to dnswl and the jmf errors address was run spamassassin -add-address-to-blacklist which gave it a positive score in the 40's range.
