FYI - there's been some question about postsnet and campaigner lately on the SURBL whitelist list.

Well, I was just subscribed to a postsnet list, managed by campaigner.

If you go to the URL to unsub, including the final '.', you get a silly Javascript popup saying "Your work has been saved to date however your session has timed out and you must re-login", hit ok, get redirected to gotmarketing.com thence to campaigner.com.

Note that they explicitly say "we bought the list" below. I'm surprised to see Cricket Liu spamming. Guess I'll never buy another edition of _DNS and BIND_.

I've Cc:'d Cricket as well as Tim O'Reilly, the publisher for Cricket's book(s).

My question is simple:

Why did you subscribe me to this list without my permission? If you feel that you have permission from me to subscribe me to this list, may I ask where you think you got it? Is ORA cognizant/accepting of such stupid and/or risky practices by their authors?

Steve (ORA author/editor and owner of every edition of DNS and BIND except the next one, if this crap continues...)
