TT Consulting, s.r.o. of Slovakia (whois) and/or Komoditná burza Bratislava, a.s.

Domains involved in the spamming are kbb.sk, scholtz.sk, ttconsulting.sk, carbonplace.eu. This may be related to a similar operation elsewhere that has also been reported here.

JAM Software: sending to outdated addresses, not respecting opt-out
JAM Software are mailing addresses at a domain they know to have changed hands. They’re ignoring the opt-out, too. So, it’s just spam now. I’ve also forwarded one of these (in Dec 2010) to the person named in the mail at his current address; no reaction, and mail to this outdated address continues, too.

Avecto: sending to outdated addresses
Avecto may have had the previous owners of the domain as customers. I couldn’t tell. This is the first I hear of them during my ownership of the domain spanning Dec 29, 2009 to present, so they’re most definitely mailing to outdated addresses. The ESP here is Marketo.

AthenaSecurity: spamming
AthenaSecurity.net, a domain owned by Lisle Technology Partners, LLC, of Lombard, IL, is spamming. The address involved has not been given to anybody for inclusion on a mailing list, and it doesn’t appear in any web resources either. The mail doesn’t contain any hints as to where the address was obtained, why, and how. I wonder if this qualifies as mainsleaze or just the garden variety of spam.

Saunalahti and Fonecta: Still at it
In reference to my Nov 15 post on the topic.
It’s illegal spam. The plaintext content does not indicate the address source (mandatory requirement as per law), nor a way of getting removed from the mailing list. The HTML content may indicate an address source, but I just can’t view it with Mutt…
