Spam host kintera.com

I'm not using this blog regularly any more, but will occasionally use it to post items which someone might find with a web search, but aren't permanent enough to go on my regular web site.

I've been getting considerable spam at my work address for the past few months from the MIT Alumni Association. Since they take in money, they're allowed to get away with it. Much of the spam was sent through kintera.com. After repeated complaints, I got a response today saying "Your request to be removed from the MIT mailing list has been taken care of."

I had not requested to be removed from the list. I had insisted, in strong terms, that the account which was being used to send spam be terminated.

Kintera.com is a knowing spam host and doesn't terminate spammers' accounts.
