Is egroups encouraging their listowners to spam?
Here are our top tips on how to increase membership in your e-mail group:
Post to Newsgroups. Invite subscriptions, when appropriate, in
Usenet groups or e-mail lists. Be careful! Invitations can be
considered spam if not "on topic" or without respect to the policies
of each group. You can also invite individual posters based on
their specific message topics.
Well this would explain why I sometimes get form letters from specific
egroups asking me to join lists. I report them to egroup's abuse address
as spam but maybe I'm just wasting my time.
