Spam Fanatics ARE RUINING YOUR Business!

Many marketers online are seriously doubting that "Anti- Spam Fanatics" are ruining thier businesses. I have a bit of news for you, IF YOU currently hold that "mindset", it is time for a rude awakening! Not only are they killing newsletters and ezines with a variety of filtering software programs, theyre also black listing domains, ISPs and web hosts.

Dont think so you say? Check out a few of these sites: http://mailwww.cern.ch/spam/SpamDomains.html or http://www.spamhaus.org or this http://mail-abuse.org/ Better yet, go to a search engine type in "Spam Filters"you will be amazed at how many listings there are. Now what exactly do these sites do?

They collect Domain, Hosting and ISP information and BLACKLIST it. For instance, if a domain, ISP or hosting company has a lot of "spammers" as clients, theyll then
put that company on a "Blacklist". So that ANY person (guilty or innocent) using that ISP, Domain or Web Host can NOT send any email what so ever to certain parties.

Now incase you didnt get that, Ill explain it in a simpler form. Lets say you own domain @xyz.com and you are trying to send an email to @abc.com, BUT @abc.com
uses M.A.P.S ( http://mail-abuse.org/ ) to block out any "spammers" from reaching their clients. Now, lets say your Web Host had a few "spammers" on their servers
at one point, guess what? You will NOT be able to send any email to @abc.com!

Did everyone get that? Even if YOU are innocent, YOU are really GUILTY, because of some MORONS idiocy! YOU are NOW going to pay the price for "anyone" who
spammed from your ISP (the bigger they are, the more chance of that happening). Anyone who spammed from your Web Host. And if anyone owned @xyz.com before
you did, you also get to "pay the piper" for their actions.

If you use a third party service to mail out your ezine or newsletter and their company is blacklisted, well guess what? Some people just wont be receiving it anymore!
I actually found that out, when I used a well known third party ezine delivery service. And upon consulting them about this, I ended up cancelling my account due to the
lack of company concern about the situation.

Thinking about registering that domain name? Or are you going to jump on some fantastic web hosting deal? Or are you contemplating switching ISPs for a better
rate? Or considering using a Third Party Service for mailing out your ezine? Better think again and do your history on them all, because the Anti-Spam Fanatics ARE making business online a Living NIGHTMARE!

If you have been falsely accused of spamming or are now being blocked because of it, you CAN fight back! Go to: http://www.e-crucible.org and file your complaint, as there is a pending lawsuit against "Anti-Spammers", ISPs and hosts that utilize these programs.
