Re: Re: What do you use Perl for and Why?

Did you really want to admit to being a spammer in public?

UPDATE: It is possible that I am being premature. Certainly there are many legitimate reasons to send lots of email, and I have done so myself.

However my presumption definitely was that someone whose job entails little but sending impressive amounts of "personalized bulk mail" is likely to be engaging in spam. As a project or three among many others, that makes sense. But little but?

I wonder what other people's experience is?

Did you really want to admit to being a spammer in public? I think that applying the "spammer" label is a bit premature. There are plenty of business that have large customer bases that they contact via email. Somebody needs to turn the crank. A friend has a completely legitimate job that sounds very much like what pinetree describes, minus Perl.	[reply]
