If you look at the headers on the original message you will see that the
offending message was generated from what appears to be a port on a
terminal server.  The message was delivered to a machine named
bud.indirect.com and then forwarded to bob.indirect.com.  The destination
address to which an interested party is supposed to reply is
[e-mail].  The common thread here is "indirect.com".

Sooo ...

I sent off the following message to [e-mail],
[e-mail] and [e-mail]:

>We are preparing to actively carpet bomb your systems with email for posting

It has been about three hours and I have not received a response.  Perhaps
some of you would like to set up carpet bomb scripts on your servers too.

For those of you with really diabolical minds you might want to write your
script so that the mail looks like a legitimate query for information.
Give them valid telephone numbers for fictitious individuals.  The
cruise/travel company then wastes their money contacting thousands of
nonexistant people and may then think twice before subscribing to a SPAM
mail service again.
