Sometimes people forget that they signed up for a mailing list and when some
content arrive they treat it as spam. But also some big companies just
genuinely think that an advert for their products is desired by millions of
people and that they should send it out indiscriminately.
If you're in contact with any senior people at these companies suggest to
them that they use different mail servers (with different IP addresses for
outgoing traffic) for different purposes. Then when their advertising server
is listed as a spam source their corporate server will still be usable. This
is a simple chance but can save huge amounts of pain for everyone concerned.

If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines
of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do
whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by
posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void.
