Enola, PA | Anti-spammers do not spam! It's obviously that these are just spammers under the guise of anti-spammers. I certainly wouldn't trust any product a spammer is pushing, especially not one that supposedly stops spam. | |

| Re: Anti-spammers do not spam! My company installed some spam-filter a few months back. Ever since that, I noticed a huge jump in amount of spam mails I received every day. The company finally figured it out and took it offline but the damage is already done. Unlike my personally email accounts, it's almost not possible to change work email address. | |

You are receiving this email in response to an email you recently sent to a Spam Arrest customer.
Reminds me of those credit card offers they started doing a few years back, the ones where the introductory rate would be jacked up if you had a late payment to the card issuer, or ANY OF YOUR OTHER creditors. Instead of near-usury by association, in this case it's spam by association. | |

What make it stand out was that the spam carried a virus attachment.

| Re: this is nothing new no, i am not kidding, paul vixie and mfn, above.net, dave rand, etc are net terrorists. i have had the displeasure of dealing with them personally, and vixie DOES work for »www.whitehat.com, he is nothing more than a hypocritical spammer.
i have been fighting against the 'tainted' bandwidth of above.net for years now, i wouldn't subject my customers to their fascist ways, EVER! | |

| A "sort-of" Apology from spam arrest On the spamarrest.com website they have put up a quasi-apology for sending "unsolicited bulk emails" to people. But then they go on to say:
"While this contact was completely covered by our privacy policy, our customers concerns come first."
The problem is that not everyone they emailed agreed or even saw their privacy policy. Plus people can't agree to a privacy policy for others. They are trying to cover their backsides but they screwed up big with this mailing. | |

| 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).
---snip---
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 »static.samspade.org/spamarrest.html

| An oxy-moron if there ever was Spammed by offers from anti-spammers! Popups offering anti-popup! Infected emails offered anti-virus!
Internet Service Provider's that don't have service or provide! In my book Spam Arrest's just another in the long list of those who don't practice what they "preach."
This type of garbage is killing OUR internet! | |
