I believe that the above is a lie. They operate a web page (linked from the reference above) to check the subscription status of a domain. The page in question tells me that no-one has subscribed to their lists from hotmail.com, msn.com, ibm.net, home.com, aol.com, zonnet.nl, and bigpond.com.au. The idea that a company could run hundreds of thousands of adverts and never come in contact with anyone who uses any of those major mail servers (totalling >50M accounts and >20M people) is simply ridiculous. I believe that their web page is fraudulently claiming that no-one from the domain has subscribed to convince us that they are not spammers. I have changed this message to go to Debian-isp, as the people there are more interested in identifying and blocking spammers. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
