Spamikaze is just software so everyone can make there own personal rbl and Spamvrij.nl is just a foundation that tries to make emailmarketing acceptable by education of companies and marketiers. It also lists companies on there website that send `spam', but also lists companies that have changed there policy about emailmarketing.. -- Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
