I would also like to point out that I have received the exact spam
from another enom reseller "dotname.com", does enom have tools for
their resellers to spam the competition??

FWIW, most clients haven't fallen for the scam but incase they do
reply to be removed, etc. Then the pitching starts, the only thing
that the try to sell is eNom's realtime DNS management tool. :(
