So... You don't consider sending bulk e-mail from accounts like the ones below as SPAM?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your company is listed in the FiveTen block list and was already in MY personal block list and has been for several weeks. In fact, had it not been for Bill East replying to your post, I wouldn't have known this thread exists. -----Original Message----- From: East, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 12:17 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Strange 550 error Actually the name "optonline.net" is misleading, the company I believe is "Optimum Online" or some such, n'est ce pas? But the name was a point of discussion, Jeffrey; it appears that the first thing that a spammer does after bringing the KFC and Schlitz into his trailer is to pick a domain name with the phrase "opt-in" in it. At the moment I am turfing email from optinforyou, optindeals, opt-inemail, optinllc, and about 30 other domains with the word "opt" in them. -- be - MOS The use of money is all the advantage there is to having money. -- B.
