BigPoint: Now Featuring Battlestar Galactica for Spamtraps!

Bigpoint, a San Francisco-based online gaming site that I have blogged about previously, began sending yet another email newsletter to a spamtrap email address a couple of weeks ago. This newsletter promotes their online Battlestar Galactica game. The email address was closed in 2002. The ESP is Emailvision.
