[RESOLVED] Serena Software – now spamming multiple spamtraps
I had posted back in November about Serena Software mailing a spamtrap via Marketo. Serena is now hitting not one, not two, not even a handful, but rather slightly below a hundred pure spamtraps.
I’m still curious how Serena Software built their list initially, but I’m even more curious what methods they are using to grow it. I *suspect* it may be e-appending, based on the ever increasing number of spamtraps, and on some of the patterns in the localpart of the trap email addresses.
ESP is still Marketo.
IP address for the spam samples below: 199.15.212.109
(most of the traps got hit by 199.15.212.109, however some were hit by other IPs within 199.15.212.0/22)
November: 1 spamtrap
December: About 20 spamtraps
January: Close to 100 spamtraps
Now, that is some rapid (dare I say “malignant”) list growth if I ever saw it.
It would be nice if Marketo could automatically detect and flag such activity.
December mailing, that hit “only” about 20 traps (Headers)

Feature Story: Speed: The #1 App Dev Priority for 2012
At the Gartner AADI Summit in December 2011, we surveyed IT executives about their top application development and delivery priorities for the coming year and discovered some notable results.
68% of respondents confirmed that faster delivery of applications is the top priority. Expanding the use of Agile and reducing application development costs were the second and third highest priorities, coming in at 52 percent and 49 percent respectively.
To get the software delivery speed that you need, find a way to effectively manage existing tools, roles and functions, and then put the right processes in place.
