A Good Anti Spam Policy

There’s a special election in California next month and the PR arm of the legit drug industry wanted to let me know that voting for Proposition 79 was against their interests. So much, in fact, that I’ve been spamed twice this week about the horrors of negotiating prices.

Handing the mall over to SpamCop for munging, I learned two things: the spammer was using my ISP, and they sent the mail using Lyris — who has an anti spam policy.

Yesterday I received an email from a support person at Lyris. The abuse team at he.net forwarded my complaint to Lyris, who had my email address removed from the customer’s list, and they are investigating this list’s activity.

So huzzah for Lyris, who realize spam hurts their reputation.
