Your E-mail Address can Make or Break You |
|
The e-mail address you use in your correspondence says volumes about you — especially if the message you transmit is of commercial nature.

(Spammers are individuals or companies who dispatch unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE) to Internet users' e-mail inboxes). Most e-mail I have received and have return addresses of free web e-mail services, come from spammers.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that some mailers and list firms expect less prospecting as a result of the higher mailing costs, something that will hurt the USPS even more in the end.
