I see, well I understand what you saying but they no reason of being paranoid, no one here really know if the email list I'm using is legist or not but seem they already put a spammer tag on this already, believe it or not honest people exist in this world of the internet hehe :P My task is to make a mailing system that's all, I was toll many time that everything is legal and legist and Email are opt-in by the way but thx a lot guys for the recommendation because I see now that it's doesn't take much to be considered a spammer, there a lot of strict rule out there that I must follow. It's a touchy subject and I will be very careful to meet these recommendations because I don't want to bother people, I know the feeling and it's not fun at all. -----Original Message----- From: LISTSERV site administrators' forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Valdis Kletnieks Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 2:38 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Bounced Email On Wed, 29 Mar 2006 14:20:59 -0400, Bruno Robichaud said: > want to hear?", we never will send millions of email per day.

If the guy down the hall visits Swiss Chalet and puts your e-mail address in there just to tick you off, the mail that Swiss Chalet sends to you is spam, because *you* didn't ask for it - it meets the 'unsolicited' part of the definition of 'spam' - 'unsolicited bulk e-mail'. Remember - just because some other site that you have visited does it the easy way does *not* mean it's the current Best Recommended Practice. And people are suspicious of you precisely *because* spammers do it the same easy way.
