The “Rewards” program for coffee, tea and pastry retailer Starbucks just sent an email advertisement for the first time to an email address that closed in 2002. This email address has been among my spamtraps for years; Starbucks has never emailed it before. The ESP is Cheetahmail, a subsidiary of Experian.
