Moritz Cadillac: I Didn’t Know Spamtraps Owned Cars….

Moritz Cadillac, an auto dealership in Arlington, Texas, is sending bulk email to an email address that closed in 2005. The ESP is ExactTarget.

I have seen previous email from Moritz Cadillac, but rarely, and am not sure which email address they mailed previously. The name associated with the email address is wrong, so it could be part of an e-pended list. In addition, even if the email address were originally legitimately obtained, Moritz Cadillac would not have it on their list had they done even rudimentary bounce processing, as it rejected all email at SMTP time for a period of almost four years before it was re-enabled and turned into a spamtrap.
