It's official . . . SpamArrest are spammers

quote:
SpamArrest is Spamming
    "What SpamArrest is doing is similar to Microsoft spamming everyone who ever sent mail to your hotmail.com account, or AOL spamming everyone who emailed an aol.com account, and so on. But it's even worse because SpamArrest -- as a purported anti-spam service whose website warns users of the 'exponentially increasing problem of spam' -- should know better."

(It's actually worse than this quote suggests, as SpamArrest are spamming lots of people who have not only never sent email to an @spamarrest.com email address but also never sent mail to any customer of SpamArrest. Not that it would be OK or 'not spam' even if they were only sending mail to people who had mailed their customers).

Suggestions

To avoid spam from spamarrest in the future I would strongly suggest everyone who doesn't want spam from spamarrest
    1. block all email from @spamarrest.com email addresses
    2. block all email from 66.150.163.128 - 66.150.163.191 (66.150.163.128/26) and 63.251.163.144 = 63.251.163.159 (63.251.163.144/28)
    3. avoid ever sending any email to any @spamarrest.com address (including support@spamarrest.com and abuse@spamarrest.com as they are harvested too)
    4. remove all @spamarrest.com email addresses from all mailing lists
    5. remove all email addresses that cause a spamarrest challenge from all mailing lists
