PrintCountry: Spamming Purchased Lists?
PrintCountry, an online printer ink and printing supplies seller, is sending bulk email to a long-closed email address. The email states that this email address was added to the system about three weeks ago. This is not possible; this email address has been closed since 2006. Either PrintCountry accepts unverified subscriptions and somebody typoed an email address and domain, or PrintCountry purchased a list. The ESP is BlueHornet, a division of Digital River.
