FWIW - I have had two experiences with CC customers apparently not playing by the rules. One was a new hotel/conference center that was just built earlier this year. At that time, they helped themselves to the email addresses in the Chamber of Commerce directory and commenced mailing through CC. I complained, and was informed that they were suspended for the ToS violation, and I received no further mail from them. More recently, a political candidate for Governor (who I supported for Lt. Gov. last go around and may very well support for Gov. - BUT I'm reasonably sure I did not sign up on her mailing list) started mailing me - and there's been a lot of e-pending of voter registration lists going on. I was informed that they told CC that all of their lists are legit sign-ups from their web site. Even though I told CC that I'm not 100% sure I didn't sign up (but 95% sure) they are suspended pending further investigation. So in sum, they seem to be very sensitive to abusers causing problems for them (as well as their legitimate users.) I grepped my mail logs and found that my wife and I are among many other users on my system that receive legitimate, desired mail that is delivered through CC. -- Best regards, Robert Braver rbra...@ohww.norman.ok.us
