A well known Australian electronics retailer has recently started

provided it to them - got the email address from the WHOIS because

Unfortunately, I have also noticed this sender is certified by Return
Path, and getting 3 points off our anti-spam because of this. I have
contacted Return Path and their response would suggest they basically
don't care.
Has anyone else had this experience with Return Path?
Return Path was bought out recently by https://www.validity.com/, with
much of the staff being fired and many offices closed.
If you find that Return Path certification doesn't correlate with
senders being a source of wanted email you should probably configure
your spam filtering rules to match.
Cheers,
That would explain why I just received a sales call today from an
employee of Validity after I updated our FBL and SenderScore settings
with Return Path yesterday (even though I opted not to receive marketing
communication). I assumed they sold a sales lead, but it sounds like
just internal sharing and not necessarily honoring the opt-in settings
chosen by users of their free services.
