Everything about bulk email, emailing, mass email etc.

I was wondering if it is true that Yahoo sells the alternate email address’ that you list when signing up for a yahoo account. I have an email address through Roadrunner that I normally use. Within 24 hours of signing up with Yahoo, I was getting slammed with spam. I had this email address for over a year with no spam problems at all until I registered with Yahoo.

I then read online about how if you list an alternate email address with Yahoo, they add them to bulk mail lists and sell them.

I do not know if it is true but I think so. I just ended up deleting my Yahoo account and open a new one with no alternate email listed and deleted my Roadrunner address as well.

Whether it is true or not, I thought I would just give a heads up.

I work for a small business where we need to find a software that can send mass emails to our customers without getting marked as spam whether we can use HTML or somehow embed pictures into the emails. Does anyone know where to find a software like this that doesn’t cost the farm? It’d help if the suggested software could work with a database like Microsoft Access…
The people in our database CHOSE to be there; I guess I should’ve mentioned that earlier. They have an option to be added to our mailing list and to unsubscribe; we are NOT trying to send unsolicited mail.

i can’t send or receive emails. its a yahoo one. i try sending the email and it either goes to the bulk/spam folder or they just wont get it. anybody know why? this happens even if they have me in the contacts list. what should i do?

this is really annoying specially when i send a really important email and people dont get it. is there a way i can contact yahoo? thanks
