That said, there's no way those addresses came from the UPSU NUS database, but I will look into this myself.Post edited by: alexh, at: 2006/03/07 10:14 ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,130,780.htm#780 AlexH Tue, 07 Mar 2006 10:13:45 GMT General discussion > Democracy and elections chat Reply 3 to "Vote Me Emails!" by Fraggy http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,130,779.htm#779 http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,130,779.htm#779 Fraggy Tue, 07 Mar 2006 09:40:34 GMT General discussion > Democracy and elections chat Reply 2 to "Vote Me Emails!" by J_A http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,130,777.htm#777

All that is needed is webspace, a SMTP server, and the script which personally would take 3 minutes to create. Leave it to excute - and hey prosto - your sending a tonne of emails to everyone if they like it or not. And as they would use 1 email an email address - it does not get blocked even by the most secure filters.

:S

It is very annoying - but with rules there are some - unsocial emails, but that will come in effect IF they are using the port server - if they use another server, then you need to contact them.

Until then though - I know where the trash can is - I already made my decisions and Noone gonna stop me changing them! :lol:
