I have a MacroExpress script that runs through IE to post ads on Craiglist, however the box must cycle through the IP addresses every 15 minutes automatically.
Sorry for being suspicious but that sounds like spamming and even more so that you are looking for unlimited IP address. Any host to give out unlimited IP addresses without proper justification for their use would be mad to do so and my guess is that you have already tried the Irish companies and got no help?
It is not considered Spam according to the Can-Spam act and Craigslist is located in the US -- it is not that I need unlimited IP's either, I am sure 50-100 would do it -- most people post via dialup and they never get shut down for spamming -- I am looking for a more efficient way of posting my product which has general appeal -- it may be a violation of thier policies but it is not spamming.
Spam is what each receiver decides it to be. No Can-Spam act or anybody can decide what I feel is spam.
Ok, so you are going to run a script that will break the craig list policies and the script will also auto rotate your IP address every 15 minutes to post ads regarding your product/service so you can bypass having your IP address banned? Sorry but that IS spam, even if you think its a great idea.
Excuse me, but it is the law that deteremines what spam is and what it is not. The Can-Spam Act of 2003 relates to email transmission, not postings. Many people like to through the "spam" word out there but it has no legal significance. I am posting a relevant service in the relevant category no more than once every 48 hours per city -- my service is usable worldwide so there is no geographical limits. I am not but putting ad there 2-3 times a day for every city unlike others. Most people currently post to Craigslist using dialup connections so their IP does not get blocked and NO one has ever lost a dialup for doing this. I can do this with proxies but I prefer not to -- I'd rather have my own IP's.
You know what. Most people does not care about the Can-Spam Act of 2003. Most people know spam when they see it, it might or might not fit into the Can-Spam Act of 2003. If people think its spam, its spam.
As login said, its the receiver that decides on what is spam and plus the owner of sites such as Craigs list. You know they do have a terms of service for a reason. Also, I don't know why you are quoting Can-Spam Act of 2003 - that's related to America, not Ireland (if this is where you are located). Have you tried the local hosting companies?
