Eksenbilgisayar, an online computing equipment and electronics store based in Istanbul, Turkey, a few weeks ago started to spam an email address that, if it ever existed, was closed in 2002. Most of the content of the email is in remotely-hosted images. The ESP is MadMimi.
The Real Deal, a commercial real estate magazine, spammed several email addresses that had not been live for several years, and that after being re-enabled rejected all email at SMTP time for over twelve consecutive months. They used the ESP MadMimi to send their spam. The Real Deal probably purchased a list, and failed to inform MadMimi of that fact since MadMimi’s AUP/TOS forbids purchased lists.
NOTE: MadMimi’s bulk emails are normally sent from a domain with the name mimimail#.com, where # stands for a one- or two-digit number. Tagged URLs in their emails use the hosts mim.io and go.madmimi.com.
