Paperless Publishing: Spamming a Purchased List?
Paperless Publishing, a new e-book publishing company, sent the attached advertisement to an old and long-closed personal email address. That email address has not been live since the early 2000s, and gets nothing but spam and an occasional misdirected personal email, which this clearly is not. The company spammed via one of the outbound customer SMTP smarthosts at GoDaddy, the domain registrar and hosting company where their domain is both registered and hosted.
