Why is cgt-consult.com on WS? They are legit, and this is from a job posting list that is MODERATED.

A confirmed DSBL listing is a *big* deal BTW. I can also confirm that I've received several spams from them.

I've reported the post to the moderator, as well as the origin, to let them know.

I generally trust this list, but with your input, I'll shut up now.

I talked to the admin, and they had been hacked, and used as a spam source.

They've cleaned up the mess, and have secured the machine.

Please consider white-listing them. They've submitted a de-list request to dsbl.

Some blacklists show they have been an open relay since 2002. I'll go thru my traps, but the one I got was not that recent. This has been a problem from that IP for a long time. Stats on spamcop show report for 360+ days. They are just now finding out they were sending this.

Hacked? I'm confused by that. Hacked would use the system to promote some other product. Hackers don't normaly send out spam to promote the website they hacked!

"Oh we are sorry. A hacker got in and was sending spam promoting our company. We stopped him." Is that how the conversation went?

I say no. Make that a NO! I think you got handed a bucketfull of listwash.
