The Mumma Interview
Direct interviews Mark Mumma (of Mummagraphics fame) ("Anti-Spammer Goes Ballistic") [via Email Insider]:
Mumma: Well, let me ask you this. What is your opinion on the forged mail server name that they used?Read the whole thing, it's pretty interesting and revealing. Also, here's interviewer Ken Magill's reaction to the Mummagraphics case from an earlier piece:
Magilla: Honestly, it looked to me to be an honest mistake and that maybe they were a little sloppy, but it really did look to me to be, as the court said, an immaterial portion of the case. They had full contact information in their e-mail. You were able to get a hold of their lawyer…
Mumma: But they didn’t have full contact…
Magilla: Listen to me. Listen. You asked a question. I’m answering. You were able to get a hold of their lawyer with a single phone call. Now, we both know that e-mail from guys like Omega is not the problem. OK, but the thing is, you went after them because you could reach them, which as far as I’m concerned is wrong.
[t]he decision is evidence that Can Spam is working exactly as it should.You can read Magill's earlier piece here. Sounds like a case of the fox interviewing the chicken (or whatever the expression is).
Yeah, this Magill guy is a real piece of work...
