Re: MacResolve Spam
Oh Michael, Why is it, that I am not believing what you are saying here? You are part of MacResolve, you registered the domain macresolve.com.au, you are the Mike of the Super Duo Tony Mike (are you not)? But, you say you are unaware of a huge bulk email that has been sent from your Tony Mike macresolveaustra...@me.com email address. You also say you were unaware that this bulk email constitutes Unsolicited Commercial eMail. Also that you did not realise the bulk emailing of this unsolicited email would be considered spam/junk email?? Come on Michael, you have been involved in Business long enough to know that what your MacResolve has done, is Unethical, a Violation of Proper Business Practices, and morally wrong. You have achieved some publicity, but I don't feel that the saying Any Publicity is Good Publicity will apply in your case. This is not the way to launch a new business. The Mac Community does not appreciate Spam or Spammers, and which ever way you look at this it is SPAM!

Re: MacResolve Spam
Hi, I don't think it's the WAMUG list OR the DigiLife newsletter list per se. Following from Daniel and Malcolm B's contributions, I have been using this address (Gmail) for WAMUG since 2005 and I did NOT receive the SPAM here. The common denominator and most likely suspect seems to be Digilife, but NOT their newsletter, as I have never been subscribed to their newsletter yet I received the spam. I have only ever bought off-the-shelf accessories from Digilife and never used them for service. The only way they could have had my old address (from five years ago) is if I'd filled out a survey or competition several years ago. Perhaps MacResolve scraped Digilife's customer database (rather than the newsletter list). Maybe (as Shay pointed out), this is a tactic to claim a 'strong business relationship' with us. But in my case, filling out a survey does not count! Since Michael Waldie is subscribed to this list, might he confirm or deny his involvement?

Re: MacResolve Spam
Hello all, First of all, yes I am a part of MacResolve and as was pointed out, I registered the domain for macresolve.com.au. I did not have a part in sending the email or any of the addresses. I have been trying to get the name around by word of mouth in person. Unfortunately, the last few days I have been busy with family commitments. This is also why I have only just replied now, once I had caught up with emails and seen the fuss that has been created here. I have been told that there is not an email list but it was a collection of emails, apparently some old and some new. I have also been told that people who did not want to be contacted again, will not be. The email was not intended to be spam/junk email. While I can not change what has happened, I can understand the complaints. It is correct that I am not a financial member of WAMUG but I have been on and off the list for quite some years. I tried to offer assistance where I could, most of the time there were a lot of people who gave the advice before I could. Certainly a good thing that there is many people here to help each other. If you would like me gone from the list here, I can understand.

Re: MacResolve Spam
Me too, but not the email address that i use for WAMUG or for most of my Mac related communications. It did puzzle me as to where they sourced my particular email address. I wondered whether DigiLife was possibly the connection in my case but that is just conjecture. Jane. On 23/04/2009, at 12:25 PM, Daniel Forsdyke wrote: Yes I did as well.

Re: MacResolve Spam
Hi, Mine came through to an address that I have not used since 2004 or 2005. The address is not currently associated with any mailing lists or online stores, so Tony Mike must have used a spam list that is several years old. It *does* seem to be specifically targeted to Mac users and not others, so it could logically have come from a breach of an old mailing list or sales list from several years ago...
