Spamming has a very bad reputation. You generally need to email millions of people to make 0.00001% in sales, annoying countless amounts of people in the process. Sure you can make money, but at the expense of losing your soul ;) http://www.msnbc.com/news/713079.asp?cp1=1 http://www.hk.co.kr/times/200112/t2001121818285740110.htm http://www.mofo.com/news/pr.cfm?concentrationID=19&ID=675&Type=1 http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/12484 http://www.smh.com.au/icon/0202/16/news1.html http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/02/15/2224229&mode=thread http://news.com.com/2100-1023-850761.html of course all of this is irrelevant if the people on the list have specifically given permission for their email addresses to be added. There are some genuine lists out there, however they tend to be small in size (<10,000) and are generally targeted to a specific topic. Does your email list contain 1,000 addresses or 1,000,000 addresses? Were you given any "do's and don'ts" of what you can and cannot email them?
