[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I've been thinking I should write a
note to those people and ask them how many netters take them up on
their offer to 'rent their server' for direct mail purposes. If
they can get $599 per customer/month it would pay me to discontinue
this Digest and turn my computer totally into a 'bullet proof' direct
spam -- err, I mean, mail server. Even just one customer per month
would pay off better for me than this Digest does at $599 each. PAT]
