The B2B spam starts out by apologizing, “I hope you don’t mind the direct contact, however, I have an offer I thought might be of interest to you.”
Some of the mailing and spamvertized domains that have used this format, several of which are hosted in the 74.3.162.* block in Canada, apparently get added to black lists like the URIBL from time to time.
We’ve seen this apology in B2B signed by:
