Hi

Think you should all know this...
According to JimWorld.com Gazette Email August 12th (can also be seen online) and confirmed in SpamArrests 'privacy policy' if you use Spamarrest it will spam people who email you.
SpamArrest stops you receiving from email except from a list you specify or unknown senders have to verify themselves. However SpamArrest sends spam to all people on this list!
So whilst you don't recieve any spend from them - everyone who emails you does!

I suggest you do not use them.

I just had a bad experience with Mailblocks. If you get on someone's Mailblocks verification system, there is NO WAY to indicate that you do NOT want to verify your email address. You keep getting reminders to verify your email address if you don't verify. I had to email webmaster@, all@, and support@ to get them to finally stop sending me the verification requests.

What sucks is that companies seem to be able to change their privacy policies at will after they get your email address, rendering them totally meaningless.

Spamm arest does indeed send emails out to senders with a link to the SpammArrest affiliate programe.

I recently carried out a mailing (opt in) and 2 users where using this service. It was simply a case of clicking on a link and entering a security code. (image of word to a text box) and th euser was able to recive my email. I supose this is good in a way because it proves that the email is in effect sent by a person.
