Being added to the email marketing database of a 'kamailio developing' company after posting to list?
Hi
Today I received two marketing emails inviting me to the UCX Expo in London from I company I was not aware having any business relationship with.
After searching for that company name in my email archive, I stumbled over a post from them in this mailing list.
Just out of curiosity, have others on this list also received this invitation and in the past more marketing emails from the same source?
I guess posting to this list does not imply, I have given permission to reader of this list to store my personal data in a marketing database of their employer and use my data for marketing purposes, right?
Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Hello Benoit,
posting to this list does not imply that your e-mail address is added to some databases for commercial purposes.
Also, other people receive these messages from this marketing company or others after posting to this list for some time. I'd guess these companies probably just collect e-mail addresses from people posting here and then adding them to their lists. There are also the archives where data can be collected with some effort.
There is not much that can be done from a mailing list point of view, besides restricting the group people that are allowed to receive e-mails here. This is of course not feasible for an open-source project.
You can address your complaints to the mentioned company of course.
Cheers,
Henning

Indeed, as Henning said, if you are prominent in certain forums, lead-generation companies will of course harvest your name and email address for their own purposes, and without your explicit consent, or that of anyone involved with the administration of Kamailio resources.
It's just one of those things that happens, and there's not much you can do about it.
