Spamming is bad. Peroid. Its not acceptable. I get something like 1,000 spams a day (and yes, I am counting and I have been counting since July 1, 2003) and I don't buy anything from spammers - ever.
Does this provider provide a "Dont include me on your list" or other opt out link when you signup for thier site? If so, its your fault for not checking it (or unchecking it, as the case may be). But if they just took your e-mail address and started sending you crap that you didnt ask for, thats bad.
It sounds like this is one of those places that ads you to thier spam list when you buy from them and thats not right regardless of what anyone thinks. Now, if there is a box there that says "Send me offers" and its checked by default and you didnt uncheck it, you have only yourself to blame.
Bottom line is that if your company sends promotional e-mail to a customer or perspective customer without first asking or without obtaining permission from the customer and providing the customer with the ability to NOT be included - before you start sending the messages, then you're a spammer. It dosent matter if you have a remove link or not.
