Schneider Electric Finland Oy is one of the many parties whose customer registers contained, presumably quite legitimately, the addresses of many employees of Savon Voima Oyj, the previous owners of the atro.fi domain. I requested them to clean their registers of email addresses at this domain on December 9, 2011, and received a response from them the same day in which they indicated that they would be cleaning their lists. I am sad to report that it didn’t happen. Several addresses that used to belong to Savon Voima employees received an ad from them today. The ESP is Damex Multimedia Oy. Update Jan 16: They tell me in private email they’ve just done a s/atro.fi/newdomain.example/g in their address register. I can’t tell if the new addresses are all valid, but at least it won’t be my problem any more…
