SQL Server Central, a website about SQL, has a list to which it sends daily emails. That list is clearly very old and unmaintained, and SQL Server Central is as a consequence hitting spamtraps. This list desperately needs cleaning, and a new process to ensure that recipients of this email still want it and are still able to receive it.
Amazon is allowing this customer to end emails from a wide range of scattered IP addresses in two well separated /24s. Amazon should not do this. It makes blocking unwanted email much harder for users and for Spamhaus.
SENDING IPs:
54.240.6.0/24
54.240.52.128/25
SPAM SAMPLE:
Received: from a6-46.smtp-out.eu-west-1.amazonses.com (a6-46.smtp-out.eu-west-1.amazonses.com
[54.240.6.46])
