Advanced Automation: Advertising “MailChimp Email Summit” to a Spamtrap!
Advanced Automation, Inc., a professional services organization for the insurance industry, is sending bulk email to an email address that was closed in 2008. This email address has not received email from Advanced Automation via any channel since being re-enabled after timeout as a spamtrap. The ESP is MailChimp, and the spammed email message advertises something it calls the “Mailchimp Email Summit”, which suggests that MailChimp is a customer or partner of Advanced Automation as well as their ESP.
