As reported by new website Mainsleaze.com: Symantec: no respect for opt-out Symantec, provider of security software for personal computers, is desperate to reach their old contacts at Savon Voima despite the domain having changed owners and opt-outs having been sent. The ESP is Responsys. Article here: http://mainsleaze.spambouncer.org/?p=347 Walmart Brazil: What***8217;s with all the spamming?

The ESP is ExactTarget. Article here: http://mainsleaze.spambouncer.org/?p=334 PositivePrint: Emailing a Spamtrap PositivePrint, an Internet-based print house, is sending bulk email to a spamtrap via ESP Constant Contact. The spamtrap is a long-closed email address that has not been live for years, and that rejected email for over twelve consecutive months in the interim before being re-enabled. It should not receive any bulk email any longer.

Their ESP is SalsaLabs, aka Wired for Change. Article here: http://mainsleaze.spambouncer.org/?p=285 DCCC: Mailing Long-Closed Email Addresses The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), an organization affiliated with the U.S. Democratic political party, is spamming email addresses that have been closed for years, and in the interim bounced email at SMTP time with a 500-level rejection for over twelve consecutive months. In other words, these email addresses are spamtraps. If the DCCC continues to send bulk email to them in the quantities that I am seeing, they are likely to end up in trouble with anti-spam blacklists.

LinkedIn does not appear to do any vetting of email addresses that its users provide to it, leading it to send invitation emails to many spamtraps on a regular basis. It then sends reminders about email that was unsolicited in the first place.

I am surprised Obama is not on this list. DCCC would be probably trading lists with his political operation.
"Faithful America, an organization of religious people who support progressive causes..." That wouldnt go over too well on an SBL - lol.
I must say, they are the most abusive, at least were - they have cleaned up there act within the last 6 months considerably. I wonder if gmail's circle will get clouded too with circle requests? Naaa...
