iFilip (Tavoite Media / Lateralus Enterprise), my spam superhero
Dude goes around asking “Which of these domains can be traced directly back to me”, then spams using the same domains advertising the SEO services of tavoitemedia.fi. What a brainiac.
Dude handles some of his spamming himself, but also sells address lists to others to use in spamming. The lists that he sells to others are considerably crappier than those he uses himself. Wonder why…

(RESOLVED) Markkinointirekisteri.fi on SendGrid
Aki seems to have some skill in cleaning up, but he’d need m4d $k1llz. This is a spam sent by and on behalf of Suomen Markkinointirekisteri Oy (www, biz reg), one of the Finnish peddlers of purchased email lists.
SendGrid, whose Email and Communications Policy forbids the use of the same, should clean him up pretty soon, I imagine. (In fact I received their report of the same during the writing of this post.) I must admit I’m a little disappointed that they haven’t crosschecked their customer base enough to spot Markkinointirekisteri’s presence before I did.
“Ei roskapostia, kaikki eivät halua sähköpostimainontaa!” is Aki’s slogan. Translation: “No junk email, not everybody wants email marketing!”. So true. I suppose it does not occur to you, Aki, that all unsolicited bulk email is junk email, and that your entire business is built around sending junk email and facilitating others doing the same?

Swedish spam ESP: Mailcom / Venamail
More information at the sender’s site. Note the complete absence of anything resembling an AUP and anything that would discuss the issue of spam (from the recipient’s perspective, anyway).

seofinland.net: Spamming nonexistent addresses with link exchange solicitations
This isn’t really mainsleaze, because it’s so spammy and fraudulent, but I’ve sort of covered the topic before, so now that the spammer spammed again, I’m publishing the fact.

UAB VENITAS / globe-yellow-pages.com: Spamming to sell address lists for spam
Just as I was discussing the data provided by this spammer with a happy customer of theirs, the spam appears in my mailbox. Perfect timing.
Complaints to OVH will likely be redirected to a black hole.
