Midas – Enriched contact information for email lists

Another spammer to block. Is there a way to identify email processed through this system?

I'm not sure you understood what they actually do. This service gives you more information about an email (such as Name, Company that person works for, etc).

They don't spam you directly; they just sell your personal information to spammers. This is called 'lead generation' by the afflicted.

Sorry, I don't understand -- how is this a spammer? They don't claim to send out email to anyone.
