Now, you’ll note this isn’t a valid IP address. It seems they’ve officially given up on the e-card thing, and are playing around to see what sort of techniques work better. I’d guess the “sexy” emails didn’t work so well, as many corporate email filters would have tagged messages with that sort of content.
