[newbie] SPAM

[Cyber Sam]

You my knowledge, having an autoreply assigned to my email is not spamming, if in the opinion of the moderators of this list it is considered spam, I should let you know that I run a legal business on the web that requires that my customers get a timely reply to all of there queries.   I have had my legal department look at what constitutes 'SPAM' and in there opinion, since the autoreply does not imply or solicited you to do anything, only supplies information, it can not be legally considered 'SPAM'.   If you do not like the fact that my company has an autoreply assigned to it's email, you have the choice of filtering it out, or ignoring it. Reporting it to the anti-spam groups will not cause me to change how I or how thousands of other businesses do business in the net.
