Passeli: Selling bookkeeping software to spamtraps

Passeli Ohjelmat Oy (see biz reg), a Finnish manufacturer of financial software for bookkeeping etc, want to sell their products to really quite outdated and erroneous spamtraps. They are using a purchased list from Suomen Asiakastieto. The ESP is Innoctus, whose postmaster didn’t exist about a month ago when I tried to let them know about the need for bounce handling… in connection with spam from Passeli, what else.

Vistaprint in cahoots with Fonecta

Vistaprint are spamming, as always. Fonecta (specifically their Kontaktikone branch) are helping, as always. The addresses so targeted are severely outdated, as always. Nothing new under the sun. A marriage made in heaven, or in Hell, whichever you prefer.

Symantec Corporation: Advertising Ghost to …ghosts, er, spamtraps

Symantec are advertising Ghost Solution Suite to outdated contacts of theirs and thereby continue to demonstrate their lack of respect for the recipient’s opt-out. Now there’s nothing spectacular about senders not removing bounces, but Symantec have been informed of the domain having changed hands and hence their contacts being outdated in June 2011, and again in November 2011, over the phone, even, as well as their rep having been pointed to the earlier posts here.  The ESP is Responsys, as before, who have failed to note the issue in any way – I’m labeling this an ESP problem as well.

Suomen Kuntoutuslaitokset ry: Advertising spa holidays to a spamtrap

Spa Finland want to invite a spamtrap to visit Finnish spas during the winter break. Clearly this is not a very active mailing list; it’s the first time this address hears of spa.fi during my tenancy of the spamtrap domain. The person involved may very well have signed up voluntarily, but letting the list go for over two years without a single mail…? Give me a break. The ESP is Genisys, who know about the spamtrap domain already… as of January 18, 2011.
