Story: Spam campaigners reject email payment plan
Posted by: Anonymous (Monday 6 February 2006, 8:28 PM)
It sounds as if AOL are selling a license to SPAM. The main people who are going to pay for this are the spammers themselves and given how low the standards are for the people maintaining lists of email addresses I don't see how AOL can stop this.
If I subscribed to AOL the first thing that I would do would be to create a mail filter to delete all of these paid emails.
