spam-like mailings? I hope this is not the reason for your
questions. Spam mailings are in my opinion (IMHO) very
unethical use of the Internet. My people will respond to such
spamming very negatively. One possible route of action is to
notify the admin of the system where the spamming originates
and try to get spammers account disabled.
I don't want to assume that your intentions are for spamming.
But if so, I encourage you to reconsider.
