UKNM: End of Spam?

[Mike Teasdale]

Ironically enough, in amongst the anti-spam tirades on this list I received

a fantastic bit of spam from the arch-demons of this area, an email

list-broker.


I'm sure we'll all be impressed by their list-cleaning processes, which they

describe as follows:


> 1. Cleaned and eliminated all duplicates.

>

> 2. Next, we brought in a filter list of 400+ words/phrases

> to clean even more. No addresses with inappropriate or

> profane wording survived!

>

> 3. Then, a special filter file was used to eliminate the

> "Web Poisoned" e-mail addresses from the list.  Our

> EXCLUSIVE system reduced these "poison" addresses to near

> zero.  You may have seen CD's with 30, 40, 50 million addresses,

> not only do they contain may undeliverable addresses, but most

> are notorious for millions of these "poisoned"  email addresses.

>

> 4. Next we used our private database of thousands of known

> "extremists" and kicked off every one we could find.  NOTE:

> We maintain the world's largest list of individuals and

> groups that are opposed to any kind of commercial

> e-marketing... they are gone!


And one of the key benefits of the file is:


> * Less Contact With Anti-Commerce Radicals & Extremists.


So there you have it.  Develop a reputation as an "extremist" opposed to

e-marketing and you never need to be spammed again.


Does membership of this list qualify?
