UKangaroo Marketing: Selling Marketing Services to a BUNCH of Spamtraps :(
UKangaroo Marketing, an search engine and social media marketing company, sent bulk email advertisements for their services to a number of spamtraps last night. Some of these spamtraps are pure spamtraps; they never existed at all. This company appears to have spammed a purchased list; with this number of spamtrap hits, other explanations are simply too implausible. The ESP is Sendgrid.

Dell Computers: Spamming Yet Again :/
U.S. high tech giant Dell Computers is once again sending bulk email advertisements to an email address that didn’t ask to receive them. I am confident that this is the case because I’ve seen spam from Dell Small Business via Reed Business Systems to both personal email addresses and spamtraps for years. Since Dell *is* able to set and enforce marketing policy for its company, I must conclude that it is unwilling to rein in its spamming business unit and marketing partner. The ESP is Epsilon Interactive, via its subsidiary Bigfoot Interactive.

The Attack of the 800 Pound Finnish Gorilla: Microsoft (Finland) ignores opt-out
Microsoft’s Finland office keeps spamming outdated and erroneous addresses at the atro.fi domain. The ESP is ExactTarget. I’ve told Microsoft in September 2010 (to the explicitly named feedback address in that message), and tried again in February 2011 (to postmaster and abuse at one of their domains registered for a specific event; neither existed). Duh. Perhaps the ESP can lend a helping hand.

Suunnittelutoimisto Jotain…: Illegally spamming for spamming services
Suunnittelutoimisto Jotain…, aka yrityspostia.fi, whom I have mentioned in passing here already, is spamming. (In other news, water is wet.) I’m really hard pressed to call this mainsleaze, but granted: it is sent by an entity that is readily identifiable from the message, it’s not botspam, and it’s not snowshoe spam, and it advertises services provided by the same entity that sent the message. So what else remains to call it but mainsleaze?
