None here. Do you know if it were an authorized mailing? > that it comes from a thirdy party so please dont blame us for the large > volume of abusive and desperate crap. If LOVEFiLM actually used the third party excuse for a company that they hired, it would be (for me) a red flag when evaluating them as a potential employer. That line makes it sound like either a) the company does not have the leadership to prevent or stop a third party from acting unethically on its behalf, or b) that the company is intentionally using a third party to conduct business in unethical manner on its behalf. Contrast that to something like: We take UBE very seriously, and we don't allow our third party vendors to use UBE to market our products. We will investigate this matter. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. etc. [bonus points for followup] > > I know business is hard, but spamming via third parties and hitting > spamtraps and large numbers of role based business acocunts does not > impress very many and certains gets your business added to > traps. That sounds strange. Is it possible that someone is trying to take advantage of a partner/referral program? Are SPF/DKIM/Domain Keys indicative of the mailing being authorized by LOVEFiLM? I'd be interested in looking at the headers (offlist) to see what third party(s) is(are) being used. > > Lovefilm is now on my shitlist for the next year. > I like that you included a time frame :) -r
