Ted is, as his site says, "... an advocate for the responsible use of e-mail, Ted Gavin is the primary author of RFC-3098, "How to Advertise Responsibly Using Internet E-Mail and Newsgroups - or, How NOT To 'Make Enemies Fast!", a document produced by the Internet Engineering Task Force and published in April 2001. He is an Officer and Director of the SpamCon Foundation, a California Non-Profit organization dedicated to the preservation of e-mail as a viable communication medium. He is also an Advocate Member of the Trusted Sender Advisory Board." Why a Trusted Sender Program benefits all E-Mail Constituencies http://member.newsguy.com/~tedgavin/html/to_what_benefit.htm BTW: I was just appointed pro tem Chair of CAUCE.ca - if any of your Canadian readers are interested in getting involved in the legislative fight VS spam, please have 'em head over to http://cauce.ca and get signed up for our discussion list. I expect we will have an easier time of it up here than you folks have had with the DMA leading congress critters by the nose, but perhaps I am being overly optimistic. Anyway - we need grassroots help and support - all are invited to the dance. best regards, -- Neil Schwartzman Pete Moss Publications, Industry & Trade Journals <http://spamnews.com><http://virus-news.com><http://spamflames.com><http://petemoss.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wisdom of U.S. President G.W.
