[RESOLVED] Serena Software – now spamming multiple spamtraps
I had posted back in November about Serena Software mailing a spamtrap via Marketo. Serena is now hitting not one, not two, not even a handful, but rather slightly below a hundred pure spamtraps.

SalsaLabs: Inviting More Spamtraps to Webinars :/
SalsaLabs, the ESP side of liberal U.S. political activist group Wired for Change, is sending bulk email to yet more email addresses that were closed years ago, inviting the owners to a Webinar on the tools and techniques for advocacy organizations. Since SalsaLabs is an ESP as well as an organization that provides tools and training to mostly-liberal and leftist advocacy groups, this email was sent by them from their own IPs.

Your-marketing-solution.com / directmarketingco.com: Spamming about spam to outdated and partially nonexistent addresses
This is so spammy it can hardly qualify as mainsleaze. But it keeps being sent from the same IP address and it openly mentions the domain names of the sender and/or beneficiary (your-marketing-solution.com, directmarketingco.com) in both the headers and the message body, so at least it isn’t botspam.

Nordic Business Forum 2012: bordering on garden variety spam
A party that is determined to remain anonymous is spamming for Nordic Business Forum 2012. The event itself is legitimate as far as I can tell, and the message hints at an advertising agency that one would usually consider legitimate. The methods leave a lot to be desired, unfortunately.

Possible Email Append from Deb Shops
Deb Shops has all the hot fashion in junior and plus sizes, or so their website tells me. I have never been to a Deb Shops store, and I do not think they even have one in my town. I only heard about them when they started sending unsolicited commercial email to an email address of mine back on December 28, 2011, with two more mails since. Based on the email address receiving this mail, I think this was an email append or similar process. The ESP is Bronto.

TT Consulting, s.r.o. / Komoditná burza Bratislava, a.s. (Slovakia): spamming outdated addresses, not respecting opt-out
TT Consulting, s.r.o. of Slovakia (whois) and/or Komoditná burza Bratislava, a.s. (perhaps two separate organisations, but the same person as prime mover) is/are spamming addresses at a domain that has changed hands despite the fact that they’ve been told this is the case. Domains involved in the spamming are kbb.sk, scholtz.sk, ttconsulting.sk, carbonplace.eu. This may be related to a similar operation elsewhere that has also been reported here.
