Break out the champagne everyone, Paul O’Brien, from Intellimailer has told the Information Commissioner’s Office that they will be sending no more spam. The ICO is happy that intellimailer have been educated in the correct meaning and interpretation of the law and will send no more spam, ever.
Fantastic!
If you receive any spam from intellimailer, report them to the ICO (I have a contact there who has the case history, email me if you’d like the information) and please let me (and any readers) know how you get on.
By the way, the full list of domain names they used to send spam to me has grown a bit, so here it is in full:
intrer11.co.uk
intrer12.co.uk
intrer14.co.uk
intrer15.co.uk
(and checking whois, they’re continuing to buy domains starting intrer for some reason. Note they haven’t registered intrer13 yet, guess they’re superstitious!)
intellimailer.org.uk
int-mailer.org.uk
emaileronline.co.uk
int-mailer-uk.co.uk
ukmailing-co.co.uk

Hi Steve
Googled intelligent mailer and found your site.
I was just in the process of firing off emails to companies house and nominet and internic to have regulations adhered to by “Paul O’Brien” (who I very much doubt is actually called that, but companies house would know, e.g. publishing of correct company information on all limited company website: kt8 marketing ltd in this case; correct registration of domains including a correct legal entity…
Well, I was not going to contact you, but I did just check your domain and I feel I ought to mention that I have not quoted your website to Nominet because your registration is not quite correct.
There is no legal entity as registrant, not your name, nor a limited company name, perhaps it is your trading name.
Since I am sure you do no wrong, this won’t cause you a problem, but it might be better to get Nominet to correct it, to make it Your name, trading as…., or remove the trading element if there is nothing about trading on your website, and have your address opted-out?
Just thoughts.
Thanks for all the domains neatly listed. My spam was arriving pre-April 2007, but I saw that they had not replied to my request for the source of their marketing data…
Kind regards,
Rupert Wilson
Hi Steve,
Glad you finally got the spam stopped. Now if I could only stop the god knows how many spam mails hitting my mailserver! Fortunately, most of them get rejected, approx 50000 rejections in the last 12 months, compared to approx 6000 genuine mails. What a waste of bandwidth.
I bet they don’t stop for long though, spammers are always at it.
Catch ya later,
Will
