As soon as I finished my last post, I shot a mail to CNN feedback email id expressing my frustration. This was my mail
I never visit CNN website I don’t have an id there. Nor do I subscribe to any news from the
site. Why am I still receiving “news updates”?
From where did you get my email id and who gave you permission to send me mails which
I have no interest in! The funniest part is to disable these mails I need to create an id
now that was my WTF moment of the day. Please I need answers.
If you are not the right person please redirect me to the correct person. (email id pls)
….and to be honest I wasn’t disappointed, as I received a reply from them today morning
Thank you for alerting us to the spam you have received that purports to be from CNN. As you may know, spammers often disguise or forge the source of their e-mail to give the impression that it derived from the CNN system. In fact, this message is fraudulent and did not originate from CNN. We suggest that you delete it, and any other e-mails you suspect to be illegitimate, from your mailbox.
So the suspicion most people raised as comments to my previous post were indeed true. Check this post made by CNN on their blog on this issue (thanks karmalove)
There is another improvement on the issue, Gmail is flagging those mails with warning notes
