>From this article:

"In an interesting turn of events, just when we thought MAPS had finally

gotten the lawsuit they'd been begging for, the group decided to settle the

lawsuit out of court. Yesmail agreed to adopt closed-loop "double" opt-in

registration system and MAPS backed away from its demand that Yesmail

immediately reconfirm each address of its current e-mail listing."


Wimps.


I'm sure Yesmail clients will be much happier knowing that they have access

to millions of error-bots and victims of 'wannabe' hackers who have abused

this open system in the past to mail-bomb by proxy.
