Merlancia Now Accepting Reservation Requests for the Amiga MCC Series

[seer]

Your email must come from a legitimate ISP address, not from a "throwaway" address such as Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com.

What BS..

Got it? All clear now?

Yep, even more BS..  At least Ebay gives you the option to use a Hotmail account, your "business" just say; go away, we don't like you... FYI many people use such accounts as their primary email account. But if you don't want them to buy anything from you..

And boy is it hard to make an autoresponder to mail all those accounts and request for a confirmation...

You got that ? All clear now for you ? Go patronize somebody else..

--edit--

Anyone who uses those throwaway addresses has a real ISP address they can use.

BS again, I know at least 3 persons who don't have a "real" ISP address. But I guess the term "Internet cafe" or  "shared internet" access are unkown to you ?

Ya know, I don't see the issue here. Frankly, it would be easy for anyone to make spam accounts, to drive them nuts later on or to get their jollys.

Well, I can make several sub accounts with relative easy with my current ISP to do that to... The issue is not the "stuff they used to do or didn't do" but we want a "real" email account so we won't get spammed or bogus orders... Sorry, but it's so easy to set up an auto responder to deal with spam/bogus mail... (Send a auto reply to all received messages with a different "reply to" so you don't even have to look at the "order" email account..)

Besides, how is this "don't use a hotmail account" gonna help them against spam ? Most spam mail I get don't come from hotmail accounts anyway, and if they filter out hotmail accounts, then they went to almost as much trouble as setting up the repsonder.. (A simple "rule" in outlook is enough, I believe YAM is just as good at that)

And if Mr Laser didn't end with "got that? All clear now" I probably wouldn't have responded to his reply this way anyway.. (Seems Rich isn't so off as I thought)
