It was tagged by both WS and DS. Should this domain be
whitelisted and/or
removed from these SURBLs?
I'm going to assume that itworld.com would not put spammer domains in their newsletter. Whitelisting:
accelacommunications.com itwpub1.com itworld.com clickaction.net
If anyone knows anything about any of them, please speak up.
FWIW, I've got "clickaction.net" spam in my archive and there's a couple hundred NANAS listings for them too.
It may be that that "secure.clickaction.net" is the clean side of their house but I have spam sent from the clickaction.net mail servers containing "www.clickaction.net" URLs.
I took a look at some of the NANAS hits on clickaction.net and most of them seem to be for legitimate businesses and organizations. That leads me to think we should keep them off the lists, though they do seem somewhat spammy.
Anyone else know anything about them?
Good lord the deeper the rabbit hole goes, the spammier they look! They are yesmail, and yesmail is a spammer in my book! They are using itworld as a "Legitimizer" How does this quote of theirs sound to you?
"Join Yesmail, Latham & Watkins, and Accela Communications to learn more about how you can mitigate risk to your company and continue to leverage the power of email communications in your marketing programs."
With a quote like that, I would keep them listed in a heartbeat. And the more I look the more I say let them stay. You legit companies in NANAS still look like spam. The vermont teddy stuff looks like a run on a purchased mail list.
I keep looking, and I keep seeing spammer! Someone show me a legit ham, that was optin, or asked for!
