February 2017 in Spamtraps: ESPs
This is the post-MAAWG post. Thanks to all we met in SF.
This is the post-MAAWG post. Thanks to all we met in SF.
This post marks the second anniversary of this series (which was not intended to become a series or any sort of regular occurrence in the first place). I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who is paying attention and sharing these posts in social media, and I’m very much looking forward to meeting a significant part of you all in two weeks – that is, assuming that Finns with ESTA are still allowed in. 😀
This month’s theme is “Fake ESPs and Dyn”. Otherwise, it’s mostly the usual suspects, with the exception of AWeber making an entry at #10 with a make-money-fast spammer.
The theme of this month’s post is Dyn. There were indications last month that they were up’n’coming, but I wasn’t quite expecting them to make #1, definitely not with a 50% lead over the next contestant.
Severely late this month, to offset last month’s being well on time… 🙂
On time this month, only four hours after data collection has ended!
The theme of this month’s post is Back to Basics, ou, si vous préférez, La Rentrée. The term has started and the oddities of summer seem to be over. 🙂
The theme of this month’s post is a specific company, unfortunately. The questionable honour goes to SMTP.com, Inc.
Streamsend, the ESP service of ISP EZ Publishing, is sending bulk email to an email address that hasn’t been live since the 1990s. The email advertises EZ Publishing webhosting and development services.
Long overdue – summer holidays and all that, but here we go.
