They’re BA-ACK: “Federal Buyer’s Guide” Spammers

The old Military Industrial Buyer’s Guide spammers that I blogged about back in November 2011 are back under new domains (dodsupplier.com and dodworld.com) and slightly modified name (Federal Buyer’s Guide). Their ESP is still SendGrid.

As before, this organization is spamming a long-closed role address that never sent any email to anybody, and never received email except to deal with web site issues. I noted in early January that the spam from this sender had resumed after stopping for a few weeks over the holidays.

Sending IP: 208.115.239.82
