It seems that every month I LiquidGeneration's "newsletter." I give
them my email address to download something on a web form when I was
younger and stupider. They didn't try to confirm it, they just started
spamming it. Tried to unsubscribe several times (I guess that was
stupid, too, but I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt) but
kept getting the "newsletter" anyway.

So every month I report it via SpamCop. And I've mentioned them here a
few times. How have they -- and all of Rackspace, for that matter -
managed to not get flagged and dumped by SPEWS? Have they got multiple
servers, and some aren't blocked (this one seems to have come through
209.61.178.115)? Because I know Rackspace has caught SPEWS' attention
before, and they certainly haven't cleaned up.

Apologies if some of this isn't clear. I'm overseas at the moment,
caught on slow and painful dailup. Spamcop report is here:

I fully support the idea that they and theirs be SPEWS'd, and/or added 
to any blacklist, really.

For quite some time I was getting LiquidGeneration's "newsletter" due to 
a forged address at my domain that someone had kindly given them without 
permission.  They blew it up into quite a battle - they insisted that 
maybe I was the owner of the address's boss, and I was The Man trying to 
Keep Him Down, or something, and they were going to keep sending it 
whether or not I gave my permission!

Try this link for the amusing dialogue:

(or http://tinyurl.com/37tlh )

And this link for the spam I received, posted to nanas:

http://groups.google.com/groups?th=1d269db5fef1735c

Lots of fun postings are also available if you just put 
"liquidgeneration" into the groups.google.com search box as well. 
Plenty of complaints, some pretty obvious shill posts, and so on, and so 
forth.

They appear to know better than to accept address submissions
ending in 'mypants.com' any more, but keep fighting the good fight!  The 
Google Groups results above will show you that you're not alone.

I'm off to read the replies, but I just thought I'd mention that I've
never receieved a reply. Just the same crap in my inbox.

I have to admit that I was "bitch-listing" a bit - mailing to any 
exposed address I could find at liquidgeneration.com, and also CC:'ing 
their hosting provider.  That did seem to get their attention... :)

Switch to IMAP and sort the Spam at the server, slow dial-up
  is no longer painful (unless you receive a Large e-mail you
  do want to download).
