[MAIPC] MAIPC Digest, Vol 59, Issue 26 -spam mail apologies

[Kathryn Peterson-Lambert]

Hello, I received a fax from a friend of mine saying they were receiving emails from me that were selling things - these were not from me - I do not have that type of license - these were spam. Also, I am not sending Pokemons these were just spamming out from the email. I kept getting a Pokemon email addressed to me that went out to friends. I apologize for any inconvenience these may have caused. Regards,
