We've whacked a few (< 5 that I know of, 100% kill rate) salespeople who've taken it on themselves to mail hostmaster@ in the past. I expect we'll always have that as an issue, training aside. If there have been problems or are ever problems with something that looks like spam from Akamai OR an Akamai partner, but for Akamai, I'd encourage anyone to let me know. The firm commitment is that if there have been problems in the past, or are problems in the future, with opt-in lists, that all use will stop and thus the associated headcount slots will become vacant in marketing...

Not true, I have gotten some of these in the past from Akamai and complained. This is just the first time Akamai has been so publicly flamed....
