On the chance that John's message here is read as "well that's just one opinion" let me reiterate: If I find someone emailing my customers from a list of scraped or purchased "leads" I will immediately and permanently block them from my infrastructure, and refund every customer that thinks I was too harsh to do so. We all have our own interpretation of what is a reasonable reaction but one think you'll see us all shout in perfect concert: This is the definition of spam.

Just the former would be way too slow of course. By the way, we are communicating with corporate customers, not with individuals using their personal email addresses.

Oh, that's your problem. If you buy addresses and send mail to them,
the recipients will complain that you're sending them spam. And they
will be right. Don't do that. Scraping addresses off web sites is no
better. Don't do that either.

R's,
