from this very page:
This sounds scary, but it's not as bad as it sounds. Blue
Security's email address registry remains secure contrary to what
this spammer would have you believe. The way subscribers' emails were
obtained was by checking the spammer's own list of emails against the
Do Not Intrude registry. Normally spammers will get the emails of those
who subscribe returned to them and will then remove those emails from
their spamming lists. This one, however, has taken another approach.
Instead of taking those hits off of his spam lists, he is sending them
these intimidating emails.
What's so funny about this approach is that if you do remove yourself
from the Blue Security registry, you'll still receive normal spam
from this spammer. He has no intention of taking your email address off
of his spam list, he just wants you to stop fighting back against the
spam you already receive from him (Blue Security only goes after
spammers who send spam emails with no opt-outs to its members). Emails
like this are proof that Blue Security is getting noticed by these
spammers by making it unprofitable for them to continue sending their
unsolicited mail to unwilling recipients. Recently Blue Security has
made great strides toward its goal of eliminating spam for its users.
On the account where I received this email, I used to receive over a
dozen spams every day. Recently, within the past two weeks, I have seen
spam to this address slow and almost halt. Today I'm averaging just
one or two spam emails daily.
