Colonial Candle: Emailing a Spamtrap
Colonial Candle, a maker of scented and specialty candles, is sending bulk email to an email address that was closed in 2008. Colonial Candle may be mailing a fallow list, may be adding web form subscriptions directly to their list without confirming them first (a good way to ensure that typoed email addresses and bogus third-party subscriptions are NOT weeded out), or may have purchased a list. The ESP is Silverpop.
