Current Status (Score 2, Informative)

Thanks to all the messages of advice and support I have received from Slashdot readers. In particular those who took the time to point out that MailList King is not a spammer tool, but rather about managing a mailing list (a local version of a listserver). We have always made a deliberate point of not adding the features that spammers like (random word/phrase generation, message header obfuscation, etc) to steer clear of that market.

MailList King, like all of the products, was created because i personally had a need to manage the people who were asking to be contacted about new releases of our software (most of our software is viewers and slideshow tools).

Presently our site is bobbing on and off line due to the hits from slashdot, but hopefully this will subside before too long and I can get back to what i do (making shareware).

The fraudulent site in question is now down, due to the efforts of slashdot readers. We are still getting abusive e-mails and threats from him (in fact i see he has even posted to this board), but I expect that too will pass.
