Ford: Emailing a Five-Year Dead Email Address
Ford Motor Company is sending bulk email to an email address that last had a real person using it in 2006. It was in timeout from late 2007 through early 2009, and then re-enabled as a spamtrap. Ford may be emailing a list that has not been emailed for years, may have ignored bounces in 2007-2009, or might have purchased a list. The ESP is Responsys.
