License To Spam?

Posted by michael on from the spamtacular dept.

Anonymous Coward writes: "This was posted to spam-l today: what you are looking at is a copy of a contract given to known spammers that says, 'We agree not to nuke you for spamvertizing your sites,' regardless of what the AUP says. It says people penned into these contracts are not beholden to rules against spamming." Sanford could have used one of these. Update: 11/02 5:31 PM by michael : The JPEG has been updated - looks like AT&T isn't really a big fan of spam after all. Good for them.

  1. SPAM-L URL by dmuth · · Score: 3
    FWIW, for those of you who aren't familliar with SPAM-L, it is an anti-spam mailing list that has been running for a few years.

    I happen to maintain the FAQ for that list, it's over here if anyone would like to find out more about it.

  2. AT&T Responded by sconeu · · Score: 4

    On the JPEG link, AT&T responded, saying that the contract was entered into by a sales rep (surprise!) without authorization. It further states that the agreement was terminated, and the customer disconnected.
