So called CAN-SPAM compliant

I came upon some messages with the recipient address encoded into the return address, and investigated. By checking the body of the message, I found something to search my spambin for:

support@casinorewards.com

These all have a physical address, and insist the recipient opted in. The mails even give the IP address and place where the opting in supposedly happened.

These mails are formatted as typical CAN-SPAM compliant mail, with a postal address you can complain to, and an opt-out facility.

I found one with a credible IP address, and the opting in was from a now defunct e-mail service, as far as I can tell. So that could theoretically be legitimate. I won’t know unless I ask the intended recipient. There were a few others with relatively credible IP addresses.

Problem is, I found several different versions for some e-mail addresses. And in one case both IP addresses in the wrong part of the world.

In other words, the CAN-SPAM compliancy is SERIOUSLY in question!!!!

I should note here that I got subscribed to another such list. VERY similar formatting. And the subscriber was my 82 year old virus infected friend in Arizona. She did not do this on purpose.
