InteleTravel.com: Just *how* old is your list?
InteleTravel.com, an online travel agency, is spamming two years-dead email addresses via ESP VerticalResponse. I can’t rule out the possibility that the owners of both of these email addresses might have requested the email four or five years ago, but I do know that they cannot have responded to any offer in the past four years. I also know that any attempt to mail either of these email addresses resulted in a 500-level rejection for a period of over twelve consecutive months in 2007 and 2008. InteleTravel.com either has ignored bounces and completely failed to monitor or remove unresponsive email addresses, or they purchased a list.
