@AlphaCentauri: Do you understand the difference between an ESP and email marketers? We provide marketers with a PLATFORM that sends emails, handles bounces, complaints etc. We do NOT provide them with the list of email addresses. These are THEIR OWN. We do require optin information (source website, signup date, signup IP) and do not allow to import the lists with fake data (e.g., bogon IPs, non-existing web sites) and check them against the list of email addresses scraped from the web (and reject such lists) — but we simply cannot send an email to the whole list asking whether they really opted in — first of all, because this is not our list. The only thing we can do is to measure the quality of data basing on user complaints, FBL reports, bounce statistics etc. If we see no complaints (while the other remain within acceptable limits), we have no reason to suspect that the person is spamming. To accuse someone of spamming we need evidence first. If you don't provide any, we cannot do anything as basically it is your word against their word. And this is what the abuse dept is for — if you do not trust the mailer and do not want ot send a complaint to Reply-To address, send it to the abuse contact. -- BTW, do you happen to have a copy of emails from ***** and @eupdatealert.com? I do not remeber any of the customers with these domains and I would like to make sure that those emails really originate from us.

Sent phishing-style spam (spoofing Facebook or claiming to be "Human Resources" from an unspecified employer who had received my resume), using "from" address "@onlymakessense.com" for several weeks in May 2012. This was followed by spam "from" ***** and ***** through June. Spams had links to gbresponder.com URLs with long character strings that appear to encode the recipient's email address (I did not follow any links) and originated from gbresponder.com's mailservers. Their website claims to prohibit spam, and the spam did stop after two months -- but their website has no abuse reporting link, only an unsubscribe link, as is typical of companies that know full well they are spamming and do the minimum necessary to stay legal in the US. ADD: Reply to below comment by Goldbar Abuse Dept: This is where we differ in opinion. You feel it is acceptable to send unsolicited messages and expect every user to unsubscribe from those messages they don't want. I am one of those who feel you should only send to people who have opted in, and whose opt-in was verified by a confirmation email. You are within the bounds of US law, but not within the expectations of a high percentage of internet users or their spam filtering services. A company that relies on your service cannot expect high deliverability if you are not only sending unwanted email to people who did not opt-in, YOU ARE FRIGGIN' SENDING IT TO WELL-KNOWN EMAIL ADDRESSES OF ANTI-SPAM ACTIVISTS. I mean, hello? You do this for a living?
