JAM Software: sending to outdated addresses, not respecting opt-out

JAM Software are mailing addresses at a domain they know to have changed hands. They’re ignoring the opt-out, too. So, it’s just spam now. I’ve also forwarded one of these (in Dec 2010) to the person named in the mail at his current address; no reaction, and mail to this outdated address continues, too.

Opt-out on March 26, 2010.  I don’t think I have any bounces for this. There is no RFC-Ignorant correlation of it either, so I figure it’s been delivered.

You're trying to mail something to addresses @atro.fi.

Savon Voima (a power generation company in eastern Finland) gave up
this domain name on August 31, 2009.  It properly expired after the
three month probationary period on November 30, 2009.  On December
29, 2009, I registered it for myself as a private person.

All email that you send to addresses @atro.fi is bounced with 550 5.1.1
No such user at the present time, which should be the final clue that
you need to manage mailing list hygiene properly.

In a bit, I will be turning on catchall on the domain and all mail sent
to those addresses will feed the spam database of a fairly well known
international DNSBL.  Sending any mail at all to previous addresses of
Savon Voima employees will result in DNSBL listings for spam after that.

Thank you for attending to this.
Atro Tossavainen
