I have been sent emails as part of a marketing campaign and they show up in my spam box. I have been told that it happens with other yahoo accounts. The sender received several “hard bounces” mostly from Yahoo and no results from the mailing.

I am constantly receiving unsolicited spam emails from the McCain campaign. No matter how many times I unsubscribe (even though I never subscribed in the first place), they continue to send spam emails.

It’s certainly illegal to spam people repeatedly, especially when it’s unsolicited and unsubscribe requests are being ignored. So, I’m sure it’s illegal for this shady campaign to use internet spam in a last ditch effort to try to get votes.

Who do I report this activity to? What commission oversees illegal campaign practices, and what authority has the right to penalize them?

Thanks!
I’m not a Democrat. I don’t care which candidate it comes from. It’s illegal and shady, and it’s certainly not moral for any presidential candidate to do.

For more information about voter fraud, please see the last 2 elections.

I have recently started a new company up selling personalised products. I have acquired about 1,500 email addresses from an online forum in the field of what I specialise in.

Can I send emails to these people or will my email address get black listed? will my email service provider be annoyed. Could I use someone like Campaign Monitor?

Many Thanks

i will be starting to do email campeigning and have been reading articles online. i was wondering if you knew of a software that can send bulk emails , or if there was a method or article that you knew of that would be great. i don want to follow the same mistakes other might of followed. although learning from mistakes can be good but i want to start off on the right foot. if you know of any software let me know. i have outlook 2007 if another software is needed let me know.

thank you much

two monhs age a friend of mine received a targeted email, regarding his private affairs with his girl friend. Since two weeks ago I am receiving spams with my exact ID address and junk titles. This frightens me to my bone. Who is responsible for preventing such an awfull advancement in spams? YAHOO? my everyday life is now tied with my only email and spams are getting more ad more intelligent everday…

Where can I buy or lease a 3rd party smtp for mail campaigns (not spam)? I am looking for recommendations on actual services. Thanks.

It didn’t come to my Yahoo mail account, it came to my business mail account. Is there a way to report the user to Yahoo?

The spammer also sent the email out to a whole bunch of people who have a Yahoo Group in her target audience.

I’ve setup filters to get rid of some of the spam in my email. However, even though the word is setup as a filtered word I’m still receiving email in my Inbox which contain the filtered word. Yahoo support suggest wild cards but it would excluded some of my regular mail. The spam comes from different senders and is blocked but the subject line is generally the same. Any suggestions to help resolve the problem.?
