Janstock: example of bad use of mailing lists!


On a pretty Tuesday afternoon I start getting emails with a subject "Please remove me from this mailing list"... several ones in a minute!

It seems that a Finnish company called Janstock, selling IT stuff, has advised its mailing list recipients to reply to an address that actually sends email back to the whole mailing list recipients (instead of just removing the sender from the list)!

In addition, the original spam they sent to the list had 10 attachments and was the size of over 100 kb!

I wonder would I buy something from an "IT-company" that makes basic mistakes like this ones?
