Family Dollar, a U.S.-based chain that sells basic merchandise at discount prices, last night sent a bulk advertising email to an email address that cannot have been live after 2007 if it ever existed. Family Dollar has not sent any type of email to this spamtrap (or any of my spamtraps) previously. (The stores are located east of the Mississippi; I had to search Google to find out what they were.) The ESP is ExactTarget.
