I have listed for you some myths and facts regarding bulk email: MYTH: Stealth software protects my ISP. FACT: No matter what form of "cloaking" is put on the message, as soon as it leases your computer it goes to a mail server, which stamps a date and time stamp on it and shows the IP number. If you do stealth using your IPSs servers, you will be shut down in a heartbeat. MYTH: All my mail gets delivered. FACT: About 25% of the email addresses in any list are useless. These get sent back to the domain of the "Send From" address. If you are using a "randomize" feature of stealth, you are preventing these addresses from being returned. They then pile on the SMTP server that sent them out. You can bring down most servers when you send 20,000 or more messages back down their throat in a short period oftime. MYTH: It doesn't matter what I use as a "Send From" address. FACT: It does. Many mail servers do a verification to see if the domain being used is valid. If it is not valid, the mail does not get delivered. Thus, you need to use a real domain to get your mail through. The new version of Sendmail, the software used by 80% of all ISPs to route email, will do an address verification check on EACH mail message sent. If the "send from" address is not valid, the mail does not get delivered. MYTH: If I use other SMTP servers, my ISP won't know that I am sending email. FACT: If the servers you are using show the handshake connection in the full header path, your ISP and a time stamp WILL show up, making it easy for your ISP to figure out you are sending mail. All a flamer has to do is send a complaint to each domain in the header of your message, and you are dead. MYTH: I can just use a Bulk ISP to get my mail out. FACT: A new filter called the Realtime Blackhole List (RBL) is now being used by almost all ISPs as a filter against known spam domains and IP numbers. Any bulk ISP in business long enough to alienate e-mail recipients will be on this list, meaning their e-mail goes into the cyber trash can. Even Microsoft wnded up on this list by putting everyone that registered software by email on their in-house e-mail list. Microsoft was forced to use an opt-in policy to get their domains off the RBL. Now, if Microsoft was blacklisted, do you think a bulk ISP would not be? MYTH: I can simply use Rapid Fire or any other desktop mail server to protect my ISP. FACT: Any of these new programs that claim to turn your PC into a mail server still can not get rid of your Internet Provider's name and/or IP number showing up in the header path on the messages. Although you are not jamming undeliverables down your ISP's mail server, you are still showing all the anti-spammers that this ISP is letting bulk e-mail go through. All it takes is a few complaints, and you are shut down again! Knowing this, you need to do two things to prevent losing your ISP when you do bulk email: 1) Have a VALID send from address that you can change on each mailing 2) Use SMTP servers that don't show your ISP path We have put together a package that will teach you how to do this using foreign resoruces.
