tl;dr: related: Amazon sold (or gave) my secret Amazon email address to third parties without my express consent rather than using their remailers. I have exactly one email address that I use for Amazon, and I've never used it elsewhere for anything else. I occasionally receive emails from vendors (through the vendors' mail servers themselves, not remailed through Amazon per mail headers) at Amazon that I have bought things from (via one-click) as gifts and I am 100% sure I never gave them my email address or replied to any email from them. An example vendor is a large outdoor clothing store that I bought a North Face jacket for a relative from. I'm now on their mailing list. In the ultimate irony, I could just click unsubscribe but it's actually good stuff ;) Thanks, Amazon.
