ColorFX: Selling Printing Services to a Spamtrap

Online printing company ColorFX is sending bulk email to an email address that was closed in 2007. The email address belonged to a small company that has not been in business for almost five years. From mid-2008 through the end of 2009, the email address rejected all email with a 500-level error; it should have long since been removed from any properly-run bulk email list. The ESP is IContact.
