Microsoft: Deals on Windows 7 for Spamtraps
Microsoft is up to two spamtraps now; it has sent unsolicited bulk advertising email to two different email addresses that have not been live since before 2008. One of those email addresses has received Microsoft spam previously; the other has not received email from Microsoft since before it became a spamtrap. The ESP is ExactTarget.
