Note that I just snagged this from Usenet. It came for approval to [log in to unmask] from the american.edu gateway. Needless to say, it did NOT get posted to the list, though the folks reading it as bit.listserv.buslib-l already had it. You'll also just LOVE that they named themselves mailloop.com Good grief. I'm not saying this is exactly how Jim was hit recently, but it certainly is what was used in SOME of the spam cases I've seen. Gee, soon everybody can spam the world.... Note that at the end they say "process the remove requests". Yeah, sure. At least the software allows it. cheers, if you can laugh thru the tears dan From: [log in to unmask] Newsgroups: bit.listserv.buslib-l Subject: Mailloop: Top Rated Bulk Mailing Software Date: 19 Jan 1997 03:27:20 GMT Organization: Mailoop Lines: 34 Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> NNTP-Posting-Host: d205-152-249-122.mia.bellsouth.net Xref: paladin.american.edu bit.listserv.buslib-l:19217 Mailloop v2.0 is an industrial strength bulk mailer.
