Why you shouldn't spam

Spamming is extremely poor netiquette. When you spam with thousands of duplicate messages, you not only annoy people, but you place a significant strain the entire Internet system. Spams are extremely expensive in terms of the bandwidth they gobble up, the disk space they clog, and the computer time it takes for recipients to deal with the message.

Spamming is against the law. US Code Title 47, Section 227(b)(1)(C) provides:
"It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States to use any telephone, fascimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement."

Spamming can lead to email being blocked by Internet service providers. This means that evisionLink mail could be blocked, as well as mail for thousands of our webcenters. Companies such as America Online can block email from evisionLink if they receive enough complaints. In addition, some service providers generate "blacklists" of spammers' names which can result in blocking all outgoing and incoming mail for an entire server. Internet providers will also shut down websites associated with spamming.
