Topica used to be ok, with a good AUP that they actually put some effort into enforcing. No more. Topica appears to have turned to the dark side. Sigh.
The first of two spams for the "Aptimus Value Network", sent through Topica mailing list servers, came on 2/6/2002. Topica's response my complaint was a rather lame one to the effect that they'd removed me from the list, which was particularly distressing in a mail message which proudly mentioned Topica's membership in CAUCE. Subsequently, a spam from Sandbox.com, sent through Topica's list servers, received similar treatment from Topica's abuse department. Moreover, the Topica reply didn't mention sandbox.com, but rather mentioned itsImazing -- which is bizarre, because I hadn't received a Topica->ItsImazing spam, much less complained about one. I have since been informed that others have received such spam, but that spam run came after I blocked Topica's outbound mail servers.
They've got new IP address space. While they've improved some elements of their behavior, they still have some serious unresolved issues with bounce handling and procedures. They know what the issues are, and they'll be sitting here until they fix them.
Some modest signs of progress. I'm withdrawing the block, and we'll try traditional complaints to abuse@topica.com for a while and see how it goes.
New IP blocks, haven't really improved, back into the list with them.
The first Aptimus spam arrived while I was traveling on business, so I got a second one before I made time to complain about the first one.

I realize that my spam complaint about sandbox.com isn't my best, but I was so ticked off (especially because sandbox.com has been ignoring the bounce messages i'm giving them for months now), I didn't proof my complaint properly before i sent it. Oh well.
Note also that they removed me from "ItsImazing", which hasn't spammed me from Topica (only Sandbox and Aptimus have spammed me so far.)

-------------------------
last week, i was spammed by the aptimus folks from topica. i
received a
fairly inadequate response ("we have removed you from the list").
it was
particularly poor considering that the main topica web page
carries a
rather pronouncement about topica's CAUCE membership.
i have now been spammed by sandbox.com, a well known spamhaus,
using
topica.
i strongly urge you to take action consistent with your CAUCE
membership.
failing that, i will find it necessary to block all inbound
topica email to
my server.
