Actually MyRealBox.com has some very good spam rules that prohibit the bombardment of its users (and other users) by spammers. The only spam I've ever received on MyRealBox.com email account is when I allow someone to send me email during a registration.

There are some very interesting "filters" they use as well as processes such as verifying DNS lookups for email domains before delivering an email, limits on email attachment sizes and limits on the number of people you can forward an email to. This cuts down the use of the system by spammers which is a very key component to limiting spam in the first place.

I'm sure someone from MyRealBox.com could explain it better but I use this email system because the spam is really managed to an effective degree. Let's not forget that if you register at websites that "sell" your email information to spam lists - there's no system that can protect you completely from spam :)

As for the rest of your post, I think you have a very real grasp of what this deal means for Novell. The question I have is "does Novell know it?" Right now I can't say for certain one way or the other and I'm far enough removed to say that I won't take it for granted that they do.

Regards,
