Emerald for Executives and Professionals, Inc. is sending personalised spam to an employee of the previous owner of the spamtrap domain. I wonder if this qualifies as mainsleaze; it looks rather more like the garden variety of spam.
Kauppalehti, a publication of Alma Media plc and the nearest equivalent Finland has to Financial Times, is spamming businesses’ contact addresses that JM Tieto Oy sold them.
In reference to my Oct 26 post. I called and opted out and explained why they were misfiring. They promised to take care of it. Here’s the value of that promise.
As described here earlier, Canal Plus, a provider of premium TV services, is having a hard time managing bulk email lists of theirs. They’re still at it.
Two weeks ago I wrote about how Symantec was not getting it. They still aren’t. Responsys aren’t helping, either.
The “exclusive” seller of interior design stuff, Fab.com has a bit of a spam problem. Over the span of a month, an old and no longer used (but still “active”) address of mine has received not one, but six unsolicited bulk (and commercial) emails from the upscale interior design retailer.
Carbon Market Data is trying to reach their old contacts at Savon Voima‘s outdated addresses, not respecting opt out, they don’t have a postmaster, their ISP doesn’t care.

I didn’t receive this one myself. Instead, I noticed it on the Spamhaus Blocklist “Lastest SBL Changes” page.
Looks like a company called “Callbox Sales and Marketing Solutions” is trolling for B2B leads and it attracted the attention of Spamhaus, who has now listed the source IP on their SBL. The ESP is Streamsend.
Topps, the famed chewing gum and baseball card purveyors whom I blogged about for spamming two weeks ago, spammed again on Thursday of last week. This is despite the original blog and an (unrelated, of course) Spamhaus SBL listing for the first spam. Topps is mailing from its own IPs; no ESP is involved. That might explain the sheer stupidity of continuing to send bulk email to lists that they *know* contain a bunch of spamtraps, including apparently some that belong to Spamhaus.
