I have pointed this out before and I will again...
It is a recommended practice to NEVER respond to SPAM E-Mails even to request
removal. In general all this tells the SPAMMER is that you exist and usually
guarentees you getting MORE SPAM not less.
So it is my practice to DELETE all SPAM no matter who it is from and never
respond to have my name removed. Therefore I would not assume that everyone on
your list wants to receive your E-mail just because they don't ask to be
removed.
