We have two new contestants. MailerMAX from Lithuania makes an appearance solely due to having allowed in a group of Finnish spammers, some of whom operate more or less openly (because you can’t register .fi domains anonymously). These are the same bunch who gave MySMTP their #1 spot in June.
The mail from Green Arrow is a curious mix of U.S. political commentary and Scandinavian “you must have participated in an online competition to sign up” outright spam. Annika, are you listening?
“Annika” appears to be Michael Kjær, aka Nordic Leads Collection ApS.
They also appear in their own right under dagligmailen.com, leadperformance.dk (Globalt Investeringsunivers ApS, also operated by Michael Kjær), nyhedsportalen.eu (Nordic Leads Collection ApS), spamming from 178.62.206.118 and several IPs in Digital Ocean’s 188.166.0.0/17.
