Vision to America, apparently a division of something calling itself “Christian Worldview Communications, LLC” (no web site found), just started sending bulk email to an email address that was closed in 2004. The email nonetheless indicates that the email address was added to the system on April 16, 2012. The email was sent by ESP BlueHornet, a division of Digital River. URLs in the message body point to another ESP, ResponseBeacon.

In today’s spamtrap take so far, I’ve seen two emails that were sent from one ESP but have message body URLs pointing to another, completely different ESP. I’m not sure that I have ever seen that before. I wonder why this is happening now? If anybody has a clue, please donate it to me in the comments. 🙂
