Adam - that is an honest question, and actually apropos for today's spam environment. I appreciate your candor.
Actually, we do not spam. We are the nation's largest seminar company and we have a huge customer file. It has taken us quite a long time to build it as well. We don't buy or lease other lists, and we don't sell or rent our lists. I am very proud of this too. We made those decisions early on, in anticipation of hostilities and anti-spam legislation. And it looks like our ethics are going to pay off. (fingers crossed) What about some form of RCPTO verification - maybe develop a way of shaking hands with the host; verifying, then hanging up? I would think that the mail hosts would appreciate something like this, as opposed to someone trying to send mass amounts of bad emails to their server; time and time again. I have looked into some email cleaning programs, and the RCPTO method seems to be a constant, or preferred method ... if not the only one?!?!? If I were a postmaster, I think that I would be in favor of some sort of coop cleaning routine among honest (non-spamming) marketers, say once per month?!?!? - Troy:-) -----Original Message----- From: Adam Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 4:48 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Email Address Verification Solution (not validation) I know this sounds like some crazy accusation, but are you a spammer? As to the email verification. Not possible as most hosts do not allow verification of email addresses.
