I just saw a batch of spam sent by permissionplace.com/DirectoryNET
on behalf of Conde Nast that was sent from a gmail account. A quick check
shows that permissionplace.com is already on URIBL [black] - Maybe they
should be grey, but the mail was not CAN-SPAM compliant and no one at my
site getting it has any subscriptions to any of their (i.e. Conde Nast)
magazine, including me; I got sent spam (caught by SA) to a scraped
address, and the last time I subscribed to any of their magazines was
over three years ago (i.e. no existing relationship).
While gmail has problems, it probably shouldn't get listed, and
*maybe* permissionplace.com should be grey, but DirectoryNET.com should
probably be listed also. A check of their web site claims that all
addresses are opt-in, but also claims that they can find and match email
addresses to other data to let their clients reach their own customers
(doesn't sound like "opt-in").
Definitely "main-sleaze" category. Oh yeah, and they don't seem
to answer the telephone:/
