Spam is UBE/UCE sent to e-mail addresses (says Paul Vixie, so it must be true :-)) Yes, but same damn thing. I was never asked if I wanted to check off "Do not solicit". My record was created when some of the people at NSI gave a hoot. I used to respect Network Solutions. "Used to" is the key phrase. -M Regards, -- Martin Hannigan [email protected] Fugawi Networks Engineering Boston, MA http://www.fugawi.net Ph: 617.742.2693 Fax: 617.742.2300
