DoNotPay is a spammer and by all accounts a scammer too. They violate the US CAN SPAM Act by not including a clear 
opt-out mechanism (their Manage Preferences link leads to an “unsubscribe” form that in reality signs people up to your 
service!) I’ve also repeatedly ask that they unsubscribe all the emails in our domains, and they repeatedly claim, 
falsely, that we ever mentioned any other emails.

They don’t tell the truth, and the company is highly deceptive. As an ISP we can file a claim for damages, which I’m 
doing.

 Tons, and we are litigating them. They are spamming most of the addresses in several of our domains.

I have reached out to the list admins and the donotpay people and they're working on it.

In short, someone that uses that service reported the NANOG list as SPAM to the DoNotPay service.

Subject: DoNotPay Spam?

Anyone else getting spam from DoNotPay everytime they send an email to the list?

I have not sent anything in a while until my ATT email and now I am getting this on every new email I send to the list.
