Fight for the Future: Political spam
Fight for the Future, a non-profit formed in late 2010, is spamming addresses that are very unlikely to have anything to do with U.S. politics anyway and that, if they’re real, stopped existing years before Fight for the Future was formed. The ESP is SendGrid. The realnames seem real enough, the addresses seem made up. I wonder if this is a case of malicious forge-subscriptions. If that is so, practicing confirmed opt-in would have prevented this. The message itself does not shed any light on the address list building mechanisms of this sender.
