The fact that a corporation belongs to a trade association
does not mean that they don't spam people.
Unfortunately, many corporations falsely state their spam
policies on their web site. I get spammed by at least a half
dozen major firms that I have asked to remove me from their
lists -- all without success. And I didn't sign up in the first place.
A company that receives an alert from Spam Cop means
they have a very unhappy camper out there. The company
should observe the addressee's request and take their name
off of ANY lists the company is mailing to and not sell the name.
