Subj: Re: Effective Spamming on the NET FREE GUIDE
Date: Wed, 9 Aug 1995 08:51:21 -0400

:
: ATTENTION ALL BUSINESS AND MARKETING PROFESSIONALS!
:
: This is an attempt to make the internet more commercially profitable.
:
: The following is a guide to "effective marketing" VIA the use of SPAMMING.
: BTW ... THIS IS A SPAM! However, I have done lots of research on this
: subject. The following information is a VERY worthwhile read!
:
: I've been dumped off a number of other servers for spamming activity. It's
: no big deal, I just change service providers as needed. There are 1000's of
: service providers out there, so the possibilities are endless! However, at
: the same time, I have made lot of $$ dollars e-mailing to 100,000's of
: thousands of mail list subscribers.
:
: I pulled ALL possible LISTS from the "tele.net-listserv-List of Views"( the
: below Lists are all the listed ones currently available as of 7/20/95. New
: lists are constantly being added.) I sent out "just one e-mail" with bcc to
: all ALL lists. Don't send a separate e-mail to each mailing list, that
: takes to much time! Just copy and paste the e-mail address for each and
: THEN send. You want ALL lists to be spammed at one time. You want to be
: able to COLLECT as many responses back from the subscribers before your
: service provider shuts you down.
:
: My e-mail message went out to over 1,466,296 subscribers. It could have
: been MUCH more than these figures, for I didn't stop to count how many
: subscribers per list! (The subscribers also tend to forward your message
: to others if you request they do so in your spam.)
:
: A suggested time to send out your huge spam is on a Sunday night at 2:00
: am. The server is not very busy. Furthermore, the Syops are usually not
: real awake on Monday Morning and are dealing with 100's of posting to their
: mail list from the weekend. It really pays to make your Subj. Header
: something that is "very generic". Many Syops just look at the Subj. header
: and NOT the content before posting. When that happens ... You're in
: business!
:
: Examples of a good header would be: FYI, Good Information, Reply to
: message, Coffee anyone? You get the idea I am sure. Just be creative and
: stay away from headers that sound commercial.
:
: NEWS GROUPS can be used in a similar fashion. I simply PULL the e-mail
: addresses off the News Group and then, blind carbon copy, (spam) everyone
: with just one e-mail. You can also "post" your message to the News Groups.
: This also works but lacks the personal appeal of a direct e-mail campaign
: to a mailing list.
:
: Anyway, be prepared for Flames and Mail Bombs to both you and your Service
: Provider. I have found that the so called "voices from the net" is much
: overrated. Most people pay no attention if they have no interest. However,
: your SERVICE PROVIDER WILL react due to even the smallest amount of mail
: bombs it receives. WHY you ask? The Service Provider gets real UPSET due to
: the fact that mail bombs can overload and shut down their Server. This cost
: them money by temporarily depriving ALL their customers access. That tends
: to make them a LITTLE TESTY!
:
: I actually have two Service Providers. One Provider is used for "*personal
: normal" activity. The second provider is the one that is always changing.
: It is best to keep the two totally separate ... *personal Vs business.
:
: For General Announcements like this one, an "anonymous server" is great!
: However, you can't count on getting all your important replies back. Many
: of them will get lost on the way back to you due to the security features!
: ( a good anonymous provider is anon.penet.fi Just send e-mail requesting
: information to daemon@-----.fi )
:
: AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy and Delphi, ETC., don't have that problem because
: of their large size capacity and are much slower to respond to 'NEW BEES"
: who don't "know any better" Generally speaking it takes about 3 warnings
: about spamming from a Service Provider to finally shut you down. You can in
: many cases, PLEAD ignorance ... Oh REALLY, SOB ... SOB ... I am terribly
: sorry! I am new and I didn't know I couldn't do that ... SOB ... please
: don't shut me off ... sort of dribble. Be creative! That usually will keep
: your server off your back ONE WEEK TO TEN DAYS to collect your responses
: from the spam.
:
: Again, if your going to spam ... do it BIG!!! Little or BIG spam, the end
: result is the same. Your service provider will tire of receiving the mail
: bombs and eventually give you the Old Heave Ho!
:
: One last helpful hint ... you can make your spamming last much longer with
: your service provider if you take the time to post a question to the Mail
: List that fits their subject matter and then add a PS., ... BTW, Do you
: wanta buy something ... information. However, I found this very time
: consuming to post individually to 1000's of lists and far EASIER to just
: change service providers. Keep in mind that you ARE going to be eventually
: dumped off anyway ... so what's the difference?
:
: The Direct Marketing Association says that you should average 1 or 2 %
: response from a U S POSTAL mailing program. I have found that average is
: right on the money with e-mailing! Depending of course on the product you
: are offering. However, even if your response is only a 1/2 of1%. from
: 1,466.296 e-mails, that still is 7,330 prospective customers for your
: product!
:
: Gee whiz, one more thing ... your Mail-LIST will say to you
: " The Internet GOD'S have spoken. You are FOREVER BANNED from ever using
: our Mail-LIST again"! They will put a block on your net address preventing
: you access. HOWEVER, each time you change Service Providers ... guess
: what? You have a NEW E-Mail Address! The Mail-LIST computer site is kinda
: stupid and doesn't recognize that you're the same person. This also works
: if you change Mail programs to the "same Service Provider". Remember, just
: a slight change in your mail program will do the trick! Example, just
: change from Eudora to News Reader And AWAY YOU GO AGAIN! Spamming away to
: your hearts content to Fame and $$ FORTUNE!
:
: The Net is totally unregulated and governed by something called
: "Netiquette". However, you can within reason, disregard Netiquette because
: of the constantly changing self imposed rules and Hypocrisy of most of the
: users. If you don't believe this, just monitor some news groups and you
: will see. Keep in mind that the internet community will strongly support
: explicit sexual immorality, while a small vocal minority will object and
: violently oppose an innocent commercial message. ... GO FIGURE!!
:
: Please let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding the
: above. I am very interested in your feed back!
:
: BEST REGARDS AND SUCCESS IN YOUR VENTURES!

: Find "tele.net-listserv-List of Views" Use your search engine to access
: this list. The default "100's of Subscribers" will give you the best
: results. However the following is provided for your immediate use. Updated
: 7/20/95.
: //
: The following represents 1,466.296 of subscribers. ( Yes, I did say
: MILLION!) Just copy and paste into your e-mail program and AWAY you GO!
:
: Now here is the catch ... You can spend the next 2 weeks down loading each
: address at 28.800 baud, or I can send the ENTIRE list to you for $50.00.
: No kidding! The process of down loading each "send to the Group address
: took me 2 weeks or about 60 hours using a high speed modem. The follow is
: a sample for you to test. If you want the rest of the list; send $50.00
