TCH-JimE Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Hi, SPAM is frowned upon, and some ISP make it illegal to do it via there accounts (AOL springs to mind) but yes, its allowed Jim Quote
Larry Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 I know for a fact Directnic gives out your addresses to spammers. I have 2 domain names with them. the second one I registered and all the contact info I had pointed to a yahoo account. (ie. nothing pointing to my first domain name).. 2 weeks later I get an email to my first domain, asking if I want to submit my second domain to search engines... I hadnt even gave anyone the domain yet or used it. gotta love spammers Quote
