General Mills Bell Institute: Continuing to Spam a Long-Closed Email Address
Over three months after I blogged about spam from Bell Institute, the research arm of General Mills, to one of my spamtraps, and over two months since the spam resumed after a Bell Institute representative claimed that the problem was fixed, the spam from Bell Institute to that spamtrap continues. The spam started in mid-November 2011; Bell Institute had not emailed that particular spamtrap since it was re-enabled after its timeout period. The ESP is SilverPop.
