So you've come here for advice on how to stop spam but you'll sign up to receive it. Or if you didn't sign up you must know people don't want it. >I intended these >kind of lists, where the email owners gave their permission for sharing >their personal information: I suggest before you go buying email lists you ensure you are complying with any legislation regarding the processing of personal data. In the UK this would mean registering with the Data Commissioner. I am sure there are laws about this where you are, there certainly are EU rules as well to which you will need to follow. You need to be careful, just buying a legitimate list and sending mail will get you in trouble - there are many other aspects to consider. -- David Gordon
