I can't say the specific lenders, but I can say that it is not just bank and money lending. We have clients who are from the courts and other 3rd parties that do not fully validate the email that is given to them. We still must take it as there are no good ways to get the correct known email for a person. When we started, we worked to clean up the list and asked them to pass along to the 3rd party that we need the list to be better cleaned as there were many bad emails (I have seen many bad and incorrect emails listed). We also have setup the blacklist for those emails that have been sent, but failed due to non-existent mailbox, full mailbox, etc.
The problem I am trying to fix is that these are legal emails and I need a way to signal that to the providers. With many states and USA government stating that email is a legal form of communication, how can we guarantee it to the inbox if many of the users mark it as SPAM and potentially blocks other communication. Some links for reference: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/debt-collection-faqs - How debt collectors can communicate. https://www.prinz-lawfirm.com/our-blog/2023/october/-you-ve-got-mail-parties-may-now-be-served-via-e/ - Illinois allows sending of summons via Email.

Do not click any links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. One also has to consider the quality of the data received. What kind of lender would accept an email address such as hotm...@hotmail.com as legit? (not the real address I'm seeing on mail from the noted IP addresses, but similar).
