Directory Spam? Anyone heard of these guys?

    I got 1/2 dozen spams today from someone promoting: linkstraffic dot net
    It appears to be a directory. I love promoting the hell out of my directory, but you don't see me spamming the forum members. What is really lame is that the spam was sent to emails like, support@, abuse@, admin@. Basically email addresses we use to assist customers in our business.

    My barracudas did not detect this as spam, but did tag all the messages as scoring pretty high. The headers were not forged and the email appears to have come directly from a valid email "contact@ linkstraffic dot net" which is also listed as their contact address on their site.

    So perhaps this is just a case of someone being ignorant? Either way, it's a bit annoying, and certainly not going to help the directories status.

    RANT OFF....

    Notice the spike in traffic in the last month or so alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=linkstraffic.net/

    I would not be surpirsed if they are behind the spam
