shachar thanks for the input.
we have a fair number of people that had registered with the old
software.co.il site and we merged a single name db
for the newsletter with people we know on a first name or email-name basis.
That is obviously not what you did in my case, though. Was it?
We made an effort to only keep names of people in the software business so that the mail would be relevant. (hopefully). We're not selling adult or drugs content...
We prominently positioned 2 opt out buttons - and I while I hope you found
the material of use - you're more than welcome to opt out.
Why do I have to opt out? I never opted in.
All of the content on the site is open and no registration is required.
best regards

Let me get this straight.
You are adding, of your own accord, people to your list. You leave them an opt out option. In my book, that's called spam, but I'll let the good people of the list decide for their own. It is sad, in my eyes, that supposedly "open source" companies don't get what it's truly about.
Getting back to the subject on hand, however. You said you are hosted by John Companies, recommending them to us. Their accepted use policy clearly bans such behaviors. While I may be considering such a hosting option, the way I see it they should now either kick you out or I risk having MY site blacklisted because of your activities. Not much of a reference.
