For those of you that I have not spoken with, my name is Dave Woroch and I'm Vice President of Sales here at Tucows. I thought it appropriate that someone more senior at Tucows jump into this thread and there are a few key messages that I'd like to pass on.
First, its important that each of you understand this issue has been receiving visibility within the senior management team. Personally, I've been following the discussion and am quite interested in your thoughts and concerns. Second, the scope of this program as it has been communicated to our channel is different from its original design objectives. We are focused on trying to work more closely with our customers that want assistance from Tucows in improving communication with their customers (I don't believe our channel is in the business of spamming, and we have dealt with the exceptions). Selling or distributing a contact marketing service that can be resold is not what we are thinking about or focused on. Third, this program will be undergoing a thorough review such that the appropriate modifications are made to bring it back in line with its original objectives. I welcome your feedback and thoughts through this thread, and would also be happy to speak directly with anyone that wishes to.

I don't have any knowledge about this company and grepping our logs doesn't reveal much mail from them to our customers. Maybe because most of our customers are in Germany. Reading the two threads and some googling, though, makes me believe that this company at least is in suspicion of spamming or supporting spammers. Just because an unsolicited mail doesn't want to sell Viagra or porn or comes from a trackable source that doesn't mean it was unsolicited and is not spam. This is bad move!
