Why? Their list management seems... dubious at times, but they're a legit business and I for one specifically signed up for their newsletter- which, IIRC, was properly confirmed opt-in. (Both domains are for the same company; they've been trying to change their name and domain.)

Because they sent a SPAM to me, to an email that was setup specifically to be used by at another site. I make alias emails for everything I sign up for. So I can track when this happens. They used this email address, which they somehow got from a competitor of theirs. It was obviously not signed up for use with them, because I would have made a new one.
So not only did they spam, but they got the address thru ill means. I am working with the original site to find how they got it. They are NOT affiliates or partners.
