I believe that the above is a lie.
They operate a web page (linked from the reference above) to check the
subscription status of a domain. The page in question tells me that no-one
has subscribed to their lists from hotmail.com, msn.com, ibm.net, home.com,
aol.com, zonnet.nl, and bigpond.com.au. The idea that a company could run
hundreds of thousands of adverts and never come in contact with anyone who
uses any of those major mail servers (totalling >50M accounts and >20M
people) is simply ridiculous.
I believe that their web page is fraudulently claiming that no-one from the
domain has subscribed to convince us that they are not spammers.
I have changed this message to go to Debian-isp, as the people there are more
interested in identifying and blocking spammers.
