(i.e. spam) what policies do you have for dealing with customers who abuse (either deliberately or due to ignorance) your Production Manager to spam people? in short, what distinguishes your service from a spammer? i ask because i'm trying to figure out whether your Promotions Manager is a spam service or whether it is a legitimate service which has had one unfortunate incident with one insufficiently clueful customer. if the former, then your service will end up being blocked by my smtp servers as soon as i or my users receive any spam from it. if the latter, then what are you doing to ensure it won't happen again? > WebCentral does NOT provide email addresses and the > customer pays per email sent. that's a good start...but the fact that the sender is paying a fee doesn't eliminate the cost or the annoyance for the recipient. craig -- craig sanders <c a s @ t a z . n e t . a u Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch ---- email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to m a j o r d o m o @ a u s s i e . n e t to be removed. |
