It is a nice way of getting your money back, but unfortunately the damage
would have already been done if the list was mailed to.

It would be nice to identify a list as a spam list prior to sending to it.
For example, we scan for 'nospam@' addresses as well as the number of
occurances of 'support@', 'info@', and 'sales@' addresses. Would anyone like
to share what red flags you watch for when reviewing a list?

Also, has anyone dealt with a list company "infousa.com"? They say their
lists are opt-in lists, however on their website it sounds like they harvest
emails from public sources.

Subject: [spamcon-marketing] "Spam clause" in rented lists


ClickZ has a very interesting article about putting a "spam clause"
in rented lists. If the list turns out to contain provably spammous
addresses (scraped, for example), the buy is free.

Has anyone tried this, or heard if it in action? I think it's a damn good
idea.
