Title: Message

However they go about acquiring their data source, it's still unsolicited contact when they snail or E mail our clients. And if it's WHOIS data they're drawing from, whether it be from and online source, or a CD, I would think it's WHOIS mining. -Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 9:40 AM Subject: RE: Verisign Spamming by Snail Mail So do these guys have to be mining the whois data in order to be sending out these mail messages? Can't they buy (or otherwise cut a deal for) the $10,000 whois dire ctory and simply use that as their data source? Isn't that legal? I'm not advocating for it, just about the legality.   -Tim -- myOstrich Internet http://www.myostrich.net
