Pobox.com is a forwarding service. People pay us a
subscription fee to have aliases @pobox.com that forward to
an external address.
marsu(_at_)pobox(_dot_)com is a paid-up pobox account that forwards to
sidewin(_at_)ot(_dot_)com(_dot_)

Pobox offers a number of antispam settings: users have their
choice of DNSBLs, SMTP conformance policies, and country
blacklists.
At 20040820233411 the user configured their antispam
settings at http://www.pobox.com/login/mason/antispam/ to
never filter any spam. There are a number of settings which
would have blocked the message, but like approximately 10%
of our userbase, they want us to forward all mail, spam or
not, to their external account. If the user has explicitly
indicated that they want the spam, who are we to disagree?
