incorrectly.

Yes Rod,
The ACMA have been notified and are interested in this.
To think that a subscriber to WAMUG Mailing list (probably not a
paid member) may be involved in this unethical situation is
abhorring to me.
Would our paid up "Corporate Members" of WAMUG (the likes of
Daniel Kerry MacWizardry, Matt Healey and numerous others) ever
stoop to sending any one of us an unsolicited email ... NEVER!
Their Business Ethics and morals are above reproach.
Cheers,
Ronni

(Its on the second page about the spam)
I'd say the emails weren't scraped from WAMUG, but from somewhere
else.
And I see Macresolve have already endeared themselves to the
Whirlpool community......
And if it did come from Digilife's customer databases, I'm sure the
receivers would be very interested to know who scraped it.
Scraping company data then using it for your own personal gain is a
big no no!
Seeya
Rod!

Hello Shay,
I'm aware of "Inferred Consent" , but I have never purchased
anything
from Digilife or had any association with them other than
receiving a
couple of their Newsletters. I cannot remember subscribing to their
Newsletters but I will accept that perhaps I did.
There is no way "Inferred Consent" could be interpreted in this
situation.
"If recipients don’t object, is that consent?
No, silence does not constitute consent. Just because a person does
not actively unsubscribe from your mailing list does not mean they
consent to receiving commercial electronic messages from you. You
must
have either express or inferred consent before you send such
messages."
This email from MacResolve is Unethical to say the least, and the
legalities are suspect. Certainly not the right way to start a
business.
Cheers,
Ronni
