Didn't see that, but it's a great forensic "fingerprint" for showing that all this has come from one source, whatever domain and E-mail address is shown, or spoofed, as the sender.
Perhaps they are afraid of spelling "Casinomeister" properly in case they have Bryan going after them for trademark infringement.
I have also managed to connect this affiliate to some of the Grand Mondial spam, and Mario said it was one of their new games mailers and not spam when I posted the Grand Mondial version - a view he may regret now I have also posted the Spin Palace version that comes from what he claims to be one of his group's promotional mailing domain.
It seems the line "Sorry to see you go....." appeared around the same time as the Palace Group rep said they had tried to contact the affiliate in question and could not get a reply. This is a bad move, since the addition of this line indicates the sender has recorded an unsubscribe request, and this makes this 100% spam LEGALY if they continue to be sent. There can be no doubt now that this is not an "innocent mistake", but a calculated spamming campaign designed to take advantage of the delay between being "rumbled" and eventually having their affiliate account suspended, which in this case seems to have been several months and counting.
By not responding, the affiliate is further delaying enforcement action, as the affiliate manager seems reluctant to act until the affiliate has put in a defence statement, which I doubt he has.
