Yesterday I received 3 identical bulk-marketing email messages from a major NZ ISP. To be clear - these are internally sourced messages and this is confirmed by the headers.

My business used to be a customer of this ISP but haven't been for a while.

The emails were pushing their cloud offerings.

Problem is - 2 of 3 email addresses these messages were sent to have the hallmarks of spam when used in this context, or at minimum have no relationship to any dealings I had with this company. 1 was to another business I operate which has never had any relation to this ISP, and the other to an email address I only use for domain whois records. (side note - I have never used this ISP for registration services).

I have contacted this ISP and they have been so far unable to explain how they got these email addresses.

I am disappointed because not only is this company one of NZ's oldest ISP's, they are also a company which has a pretty 'business like' reputation.

Has anyone else received these emails?
