BioMedLib (bmlmail.com, bmlsearch.com) are spamming scientists with invitations to sign up for their service. They are doing their own bulking from what appear to be “business grade” cable connections from various providers, with generic rDNS, in Virginia. The domains are registered via Yahoo! to Mir Siadaty, of 1112 Rustic Willow Lane, Charlottesville, VA 22911. The bmlmail.com domain was only registered three-ish weeks ago. Something tells me signing up isn’t required for the “service” to continue.

Spamming IPs: 50.73.230.73, 67.233.102.183, 70.88.186.189 (probably many more)
