However, the prices have changed since I brought up the idea a month ago. At the time, they had auto-responders with POP mail - - - $50/2yrs POP+autoresponder, or $39 one-time for a mail forwarder. Now, however, they offer autoresponders for 3/$99 for three years, with no mention of POP mail or forwarding - I don't know if they've dropped the service (in favor of web hosting at $25/month), or if it's still there and just not advertised. (Of course, there's still the moral dilemma that even $99 is $99 in Spamford's pocket :-)
Not to mention the fact that this bitch will grab any email addresses (including your own) that pass through those accounts and use them for his own spamming purposes. Don't do it, it's not worth it, not just for the money going to a shit eating weasel, but for the principle of the thing - you'd cause the spamming of everyone using it or communicating with it.
If you get a web site with them, they'd grab all the email addresses from the surfers' browsers. Hell, you might as well get an account on nsa.gov while you're at it.
At least nsa.gov won't spam the addresses they've grabbed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | The Internet was designed | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | to protect the free world | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | from hostile governments. | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
