Attached are the three spam messages I received from sideloaders.com in March 2004 with a subject of:

       "Invitation: MultiLoader debuts at Cleveland show"

as mentioned on my blog.

You may want to check into who at your company was responsible for public relations/marketing of the ‘NA 2004 Material Handling Show’ in Cleveland. Perhaps they violated your policies and procedures and contracted with a spamming firm.

As you can see from the email headers of the attached messages, the spam message was received from sideloaders.com by aspworld.com [line 1] which then was delivered to the hosting company for my nozell.com domain.

One interesting bit that may help with your internal search is the sending PC set had the Organization line set to be “BHS” [line 2] which likely stands for Baumann Handling Systems.

A Google search for shrewd@sideloaders.com shows that your http://www.sideloaders.com site formerly provided that email address as the contact, but it was changed to info@sideloaders.com sometime after May 06, 2006 based on the information in the google cache.

http://www.google.com/search?q=shrewd%40sideloaders.com

You can still see the reference to the shrewd address by looking in the Google Cache:

http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:gFVGR0epFEgJ:www.sideloaders.com/+shrewd%40sideloaders.com&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2

That email address is also referenced on http://www.metalcenternews.com/MetalDistribution/Manufacturers/AlphaEqA-C.htm
as the contact for your company.

In my original post the entire email message including the full headers that shows exactly the text of the message I received over two years ago.
