Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : is this spam from 1and1 or someone else ?

[chrisranjana]

Hi Christopher,

Ryan Deiss here, and I have something that I want you to
check out...

I've been hearing a lot about this hosting service that's
offering FR^E hosting for 3 years, and frankly it seems too
good to be true.

--> http://www.1and1.com

(No, that's NOT an affiliate link.)

Please understand that I have not personally used this
service, so I can't give it my out and out recommendation.
Like I said earlier, the deal seems almost too good to be
true, but I thought you might still like to hear about it.

If you read something on their site that I missed, please
pass it on to me so that I can, in turn, pass it on to the
rest of my subscribers.

My hope is that this deal is legitimate, and that the FR^E
hosting offer will inspire you to launch your online business
(assuming, of course, that you haven't already).

Either way, I wanted to wish you a Happy Holiday, and best
of success in 2004!

Best regards,
Ryan Deiss

If you know the sender I would say no, but obviously he wouldn't identify himself in this way. I imagine we are going to be seeing even more clever messages following the passage of the anti-spam bill in the US. Interestingly, I recently saw a two page full spread ad for this company in one of the computer magazines on the rack two days ago.

What do the headers look like?

[chrisranjana]

Of course I don't know the sender , let alone anyone with an email like sitesightings-4974@royalr1.com

I have pasted the necessary headers below

X-ClientAddr: 65.39.222.242
