New and recent B2B spam selling email address lists from the “Data Champions/Sloan Marketing†spam/scam group:
- Spam from their India-based
serveridream.comspam server [174.141.226.243], labeled as coming from fake people likejessica.parker@eglobesearch.com,nancy.miller@globalitsearch.com, orbruce.wilson@acquiredatanetworking.com(this “Bruce” has been around for a while!) - Spam from “Kevin” (

All these nicely chosen person names that point to the same places: Laura, Kevin, Bruce Wilson, Jean Miller, Nancy Miller (are these “Millers” related? LOL)… Check out this excellent article about the Data Champions group, appropriately entitled, “Welcome to the Murky World of E-mail List Sales.”
For some reason, many of these B2B sending domains and servers never end up on the mainstream blacklists. It may be that B2B spam is taken less seriously by the bigger blacklists since there is so much less of it, volume-wise, compared to, say, Viagra spam. On the other hand, B2B spam often looks semi-legitimate, so it becomes more of a time-waster than easily dismissed Viagra spam when it ends up in people’s mailboxes.
Then again, who could ever blacklist a domain as serious-sounding as authmailer.com, or authsender.com?
