I would also suggest that people interested in this kind of mail get in touch with the company
and tell them that
- the mail looks spammy and may not reach all intended recipients for that reason
Including SA's vote on the mail might be an idea
- they, as recipients, are unwilling to damage their working anti spam setup just to cure a symptom
where the sender could cure the disease (and whitelist_from, unless backed by spf or domainkeys,
is opening an unnecessary hole)
