When I say "spam" I meant these several emails I receive a day telling
me how to get rich quick and whatever electronic gadget I should buy
now, or whether I want to buy 5 million email addresses for 50 dollars
(or what). No I don't. These messages are sent from freemail accounts
without the sender's real name, as they have to hide behind anonymity.
This is what The Bat! is not about.
The Bat! is a powerful mailer for legitimate emails. There is nothing
wrong with having hundreds of customers you do business with, or who
have requested your newsletter. However, there is indeed something
wrong with sending thousands and millions of emails to people who have
never heard of you (or your bogus email address which will be shut
down by Yahoo an hour after you send your "e-commerce" message.
(I don't know whether you fall into this category of what I call
spammers; probably not, as you are using a real name.)
ET> This is not 1995 when the Internet was an entirely different world...
Right. As long as you don't mean that spam is good.
