[CQ-Contest] Spam via Contesting.com address

[Dave Pascoe]

Pete-

It should get better. The issue was that we had to redirect incoming mail
away from the usual spam filtering appliance since it was undergoing a data
center move.

An aside...if you ever posted , even once, with your email address....it's
public.
