Most spammers are liars, too:

At 100K per piece (quite small, if really a "50 page" HTML ad with 
pictures), times 50,000,000 recipients, is over 4.5 terabytes of data.  On 
a 56K dialup connection (assuming a good 5000 bytes/second), that would 
take over 30 years to send (or $7,200 at $20/month).  Even on a T1 
connection, it would take over a year.

Of course, that assumes that each E-mail has to be sent separately.  Much 
better performance would occur if the E-mails were sent in a smart method 
(IE all E-mails sent to users @example.com would be sent together with one 
connection), but you're still talking big bucks, even if you can find an 
ISP that will allow you to spew that much mail.

Of course, I wonder what type of "targeted" list has 50,000,000 E-mail 
addresses on it.  :)

[Declude.JunkMail] Exactly our point on SPAM.

2002-04-02 Thread Todd Holt

This is an excerp from a SPAM ad that actually got through my junkmail
settings:

[COMPARISON OF INTERNET ADVERTISING METHODS]:
==
=> A 1/20 Page Targeted Web Site Banner Ad to 5 Million People
   on the Internet can cost you about $100,000.

=> A 5 Page Targeted Direct Mail Advertisement to 1 Million People
   through the Postal Service can cost you about $500,000.

=> A 50 Page Targeted HTML Broadcast Email Advertisement with
   Pictures to 50,000,000 People through the Internet is Free.

..Which advertising method sounds most appealing to you?

==

What a bunch of (*#()*@#^%*&@(&*&()*#*@()$*

Its only free to send, but the recipients pay the bill!!!
