I should say at this point that there are people out there who do make their living through unsolicited email, numbers over quantity.
They pick up servers in other countries that don't have anti spam laws, or are not restrictive in any way, and send out millions upon millions of mails, and sure they make money. In my eyes however, this is not online marketing.
It's not ethical, it doesn't build a solid business base for your future, and it gives those of us with legitimate lists a bad name. It just makes our lives harder than they need to be. If this is the kind of info you're looking for, you won't find it here. We're looking at real business.
