Disney Destinations: The Happiest Spam on Earth?

Disney Destinations, the travel business of media and entertainment empire Disney Corporation, sent an advertising email to a long-closed email address today. This spamtrap hasn’t heard from Disney before, at least not since it became a spamtrap. The ESP is ExactTarget.

Apparently they didn’t just hit my spamtraps; there’s an SBL listing for the same spam, although at a different IP. Hat tip to @InterestingSBLs for the Subject snark, and for letting me know that I got scooped. 😉

Sending IP: 68.232.207.32
