Now... you really proved to me that you are a BIG jerk!
You should have stopped spamming me at the time I said I didn't want you to spam me. Mow I'll let my ISP know that your site is full of [censored] and he'll block it so that noone has the ability to visit it in my country, just because you SPAM... A LOT!
Moreover, I will block you ASAP on my e-mail client, so that I don't hear (get SPAM) from you anymore.
Have a nice "adminning"... JERK!

BTW now that Im on the subject, what do you use for doing mass emails. Do you have something that comes with your hosting or do you have a special program. Im always interested in input, because the program we have at work is junk and someday we want to upgrade.

phpBB has it built in, so that's what I use. I do my own hosting remember So it can't be a script that comes with my hosting

You could make yourself a simple php script and flat file text database for e-mail lists. Wouldn't be too hard if you had the know-how. I actually have a newsletter mailing script on BA somewhere from when I attempted a newsletter, but that never took off.
