Passeli: Selling bookkeeping software to spamtraps
Passeli Ohjelmat Oy (see biz reg), a Finnish manufacturer of financial software for bookkeeping etc, want to sell their products to really quite outdated and erroneous spamtraps. They are using a purchased list from Suomen Asiakastieto. The ESP is Innoctus, whose postmaster didn’t exist about a month ago when I tried to let them know about the need for bounce handling… in connection with spam from Passeli, what else.

Human-readable spam contents: Not much, just a “This is the plaintext version of the newsletter. Read the newsletter online at” with a link (surprisingly enough, untagged) to an online version of the content. The directory name of the online content (“Uusasiakaskirjeet”) clearly indicates this is spam to prospective new customers, not existing ones.

Past notes:
Infinite Mho Oy opted out of Passeli’s UCE on Nov 15, 2010. They have managed to respect that so far.
Passeli’s and Innoctus’ postmasters were informed of the bounce handling issue on February 9, 2012. Unfortunately neither address exists, as documented on RFC-Ignorant (for Passeli.com and Innoctus.com)
