Re: What....I actually agree with AOL?
Good Point,
But with the statement about each email would only cost a fraction of a cent, then my guess would be that it has to be a lot of emails for it to be considered bulk email. I am thinking somewhere in the 1000's of emails to be considered "bulk". This idea would definitely cut down on spam. I wish all email companies would implement this, as my yahoo and earthlink are full of spam all the time.
The only downside would be to companies who have legit mailing lists, now having to pay tax for sending legit emails. |

| So what about free webmail? This is only good for pay accounts. This idea by AOL is good since it is only a fraction of a cent, but for a spammer that can add up, but not for a home user. Even if it is 1/2 cent per email that is still resonable because most people don't send more than 200 emails per month. Hell my sent mail box has 280 emails total and I have had my gmail account for a year. I can't help, but wonder though if AOL's interests are genuine and not similar to telco greed where they just want a cut of the spammer's money for using their pipes. |
