In that case, please let me know when Bill's machine offers a deal on Viagra.  
Baseball is getting boring and it looks like a long weekend.

Bill's
computer -- there's malicious code, called a "zombie", that turns someone's 
computer into
a spam relay. Basically, a virus with commercial intentions. Because First Step 
has
disallowed the use of their mail server as a relay (i.e. allowing unverified 
people to
send email through it), I think that the problem, sadly, might be with Bill's 
machine
itself.
