Golfing accessories maker Easy Glove emailed a long-closed personal email address of mine today with an advertisement for custom golfing gloves. An advertisement in French. I don’t speak French. And I don’t play golf and never have. The ESP was Emailvision, a reasonably responsible French ESP that was bought out by cloud marketing company SmartFocus a couple of years ago.

Any bulk email list that contains the email address in the entirely unredacted spam sample below has either been targeted by a malicious subscriber (unlikely in this case) or is a purchased or email appended list. That email address was never subscribed to receive bulk email from anybody when it was in active use, and it has not been in use for over a decade. I’ve noticed slowly increasing amounts of spam from Emailvision since the takeover. It does not appear that SmartFocus is… focusing… on its email service provider business to the same extent that Emailvision did prior to the takeover. And it shows. 🙁
