Real Simple Magazine: Advertising People Magazine to a Spamtrap?
Real Simple magazine is spamming a second spamtrap, advertising a different magazine that I assume is part of the same group of magazines. The ESP, as before, is Cheetahmail, a subsidiary of Experian.
Real Simple is sending its mailings from an IP range, not a single IP. Different IPs seem to be used for different email addresses, so the IP range is provided below and the last part of the IP address is redacted in the headers.
Sending IPs: 66.165.100.168-66.165.100.173
