spammed by ICQ ???



Since a couple of weeks, I am constantly flooded at the SMTPD level.
However, I found more than half of the flood comes out like this one:

As you can notice above, the lamer is an ICQ user. Apparently, 
NOT having ICQ auto-triggers a mailer script on mirabilis.com 
to urge us to fetch and install ICQ. If the above ain't SPAM,
then I don't know what is...

Should we file a mass-lawsuit against Mirabilis? ;-)
