I received a spam email today from a James E (noreply@XXXXXXXXXXXXX.com)with a full page creative from Stamps.com.
Will whoever owns XXXXXXXXXXXX.com step up and take the whipping you deserve? All I can say is you are some kind of idiot to claim that the email address used (one that I put on to receive recipes from users) was part of any opt-in list. I alerted Stamps.com to your actions and hopefully your affilitation with them and any other respectable merchants will be terminated. You give a bad name to affiliates everywhere.

How do you know it was from the owner of that site though? A spammer could put in any return email address.

I agree with jimbo2002. I know I can use any email address and redirect to another.

I suggest the spammer, as punishment, be assigned to clean up a hazardous waste area. No protective clothing, no gloves, no face masks. That is still better treatment than they deserve...

Punishing legitimate newsletter publishers for sending out mailings would more than likely be the result of this plan. The spammers would figure out a way to still do it.
Thanks for the interesting replies. The merchant has somewhat addressed the situation and hopefully the spammer will clean up his/her act.
