Subject: No German Subscription, I did Not subscribe In German. From: German_List_Admin@ Sender: German_List_Admin@ I append http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/std/no_rdns.txt abuse@ Ref your postings, - Your company has become a spammer through incompetence: - I did Not subscribe or want your German language mailings. - I filled in your form in English. Not German. English was expected. - You were Not authorised to switch language & dump German on me. - What you send is unauthorised Spam. - Do Not rely on an R-DNS look up of recipient email domains, & make a foolish assumption that the native language of every recipient is the the language of the country their IP number resolves to: - In Munich, 20%+ are not German. Some don't read it as fast, or at all. Some prefer their info in English for further use. - Spanish speakers live in the USA. French people can work in Poland, etc. - Mail box forwarding further invalidates R-DNS foolish assumptions - My web browser's HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE variable was never German, but eg "en-gb,en;q=0.9,de-de;q=0.7,de;q=0.6,fr-fr;q=0.4,fr;q=0.3,it;q=0.1"). However, HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE is not reliable enough to select mailing language: may be wrong for visitors at Internet cafes, international transport hubs & multi lingual companies where staff move about. - Conform to language of your application form, or offer a selection in the form, but do Not switch to spam in a foreign language after a wrong guess ! - Revert my subscription back to English, or - Please Delete Me, I never authorised you to spam me in German. http://www.berklix.com Computer Consultancy http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/cv/ My Resume - English & German http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/contact/ Contact - German for business also OK. http://www.berklix.com/free/ Free Software http://www.berklix.org Free Organisations & Clubs
