Somewhat unfortunately, my traps are in receipt of spam that was sent by Webcore, aka MailerLite.fi, to a purchased list, one that contains addresses of natural persons, and outdated and erroneous personal data. So their own AUP doesn’t appear to apply to themselves, and hence is worth exactly the loo roll it was printed on.

mailerlite.fi (“WebCore”, webcore.fi, a d/b/a of Agrolink Ab) appears to be the Finnish reseller of the supposedly UK business MailerLite.com. (Now the domain registrations for mailerlite.com and mlsend.com indicate UAB “Itema” in Lithuania, and the RIPE WHOIS of the network where soutX.mlsend.com reside, 92.61.38.0/24, is in Lithuania as well… But that’s beside the point, isn’t it.)

MailerLite’s Anti-spam Policy reads just fine. You can’t send to purchased lists, and you can’t send to harvested lists. The Finnish equivalent is identical in substance as it should be.
