Spam - Re: Oracle Training from InterTrain

Here's the email I received this morning from Cindy Conners in regards to my inquiry Friday when she spammed many list members.

It appears that this wasn't actually her fault. I know lot's of cynics will
disagree, but that's tough.

I must say I'm a little dissapointed that so many folks responded to her with profanity. I'm always dismayed at the number of people that are unable to express themselves without resorting to vulgar speech. Get a dictionary and a thesaurus and learn to use them.

I sincerely apologize. This list was forwarded to me internally without any indication of its source. I assumed that I was to send out one of our standard emails. This is my fault for not checking it out before I sent my email.

I appreciate your response to explain to me my error. Obviously, many people
objected. There are 137 messages in my inbox this morning that emails to me were rejected by our server that because they contained profanity. You have a tough crowd.

I was never my intention to harm anyone. As list manager, can you suggest the best way for me to apologize to everyone and assure them it will not happen again.
