Re: [Asrg] define spam

Brad,

BT>                     Sent as part of a mass mailing, which is to say some
BT>                         person commanded that mail be sent to more than
BT>                         a few hundred people

if 10,000 separate senders each mail to targeted lists of 50 people,
soliciting money, is that not spam?


BT>                     The recipient never solicited the mailing, nor has
BT>                         had voluntary contact with the sender in the past

Anyone you have ever had contact with is thereby authorized to send you
a solicitation?


BT>                     Is commercial (Many people request this in the definition,
BT>                         but usually only if not including the mass mailing
BT>                         component, so this might not stay)

Unsolicited political or religious mailings are acceptable?


BT>                     The sender has not been asked to stop mailing the
BT>                         recipient

Everyone gets one free shot at abusing (or, ummm, rather "stuffing")
your mailbox?


BT>                     If was not directly solicited (ie. is sent due to
BT>                         an existing relationship) the sender adheres to
BT>                         a reasonable and operational system to allow the
BT>                         recipient to ask not to be mailed again (See #4)

ok.
