Subject: Re: Thanks for the info and #s
 
: : want to thank you all for giving me usefull info for spam killing
: : ever once in a while i reek some havoc on these people
: : when i have a bit of time
: : just to help piss them off a bit
: : so although we dont all WRITE & POST
: : i am still using the REAL info to clog a few boxes and such
: : so keep trying


ddress. I will assume you visited a site to get product information, so you 
either needed more or could not find it, so you did the logical thing.

: Done assuming.

: A confirmation email should be two things at the same time. One thing it 
should do is be sent nearly immediately, up to 15 minutes. It does not have to 
include the originating IP address, but it is a good idea. It should send you a 
cookie or some code that you must RETURN to confirm that you got it. The code 
can be either a word, but typically a small jumble of letters and numbers, 
typically 8, but could be more. You must RETURN that string to them via their 
instructions, be it in the subject or in the body. Their confirmation email 
should explain how their system works. Once done, this is known as a confirmed 
opt-in list, which is too much effort for a spammer to make.

: BUT, is this a spammer? Here at Studio42, we have flat out outlawed mailing lists 
period. But that is Studio42 policy, not the rest of the universe. I am tempted to 
say to you to go ahead and go after this. If they are going to send you extra garbage, 
there should be a method of opting out BEFORE you submit, or at least one after the 
fact. After the fact is totally unacceptable in my opinion.

: I will relay my story about KB Toys. I bought some Star Wars items from them. I am a 
big Star Wars fan, I collect the 12" items. But I digress on that. The facts that 
pertain here are as follows: I bought something online and all went well, I received my 
item, I was very happy. No problemns. They emailed me an order confirmation and 
instructions to track my order. Most excellent. Later on they decided to shut down KBToys 
online and turn it into KBKids. Fine, whatever. Dumb move, but hey, it's their marketing 
idiocy. They decided to start sending promotional email about the new site. Not just one(which 
was spam), but many others. I had to complain WAY the hell up the corporate ladder to get results.

: Based on the type of email you are getting, it is no-sequiter to what you original signed on 
for. Yes, it is spam, and yes, go to their ISP and have them either shut down or rehabilitated.

: : Best Regards
