This is _not_ coming from porn merchants, now, is it? Vern: All of that is true enough. Perhaps I should qualify my comment with a statement that I refer to illegal unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE). If your company sends e-mail that fits the legal definition to my registered e-mail addresses, your company can be significantly liable. To see the legal definitions, see: http://makeashorterlink.com/?A310619D or http://search.leg.wa.gov/wslrcw/RCW%20%2019%20%20TITLE/RCW%20%2019%20.190%20%20CHAPTER/RCW%20%2019%20.190%20%20chapter.htm Other states might have different definitions. I wouldn't be surpised if your company's e-mailings were legal, so you wouldn't fit.
