Who/what is RESMAIL?

Monday, February 07, 2011

There's somebody sneaky in my Gmail spam folder.

Some company I've never heard of, apparently called RESMAIL, keeps showing up there, once or twice a week. The footer always says "RESMAIL - 63 Madison Ave 9th Floor - New York, NY 10016 US." The source IP addresses have varied over the past months -- from 173.244.163.182, 66.151.5.167 and most recently 98.126.20.140. They seem to be trying to advertise some semi-legitimate stuff -- Columbia University's School of General Studies, a NY Real Estate Expo, hotels in the New York area, etc. Seems legitimate, except for the fact that I never signed up for it and it's pure unwanted third-party advertising. I'm not even sure how they came to be in possession of that Gmail address -- the only other unwanted mail this account gets is the typical Russian pill and gambling stuff.

Anybody else out there familiar with RESMAIL?

    From what I have seen they are used by university residence's for their email. It wouldn't surprise me is some of the kiddies don't have a spam run going through them.

    Nah, this appears to be a dedicated commercial sender using this name. Looks like the various university "Resmail" references are probably unrelated.
