Existing users, 
Guys, I know this could be used for SPAM, but allow it it's dues. We manage mailing lists for around fifteen clients who we send monthly/quarterly html-rich newsletters for to their mailing-groups. All the people on their lists have requested to be, and we are always responsible about removing any people who request to be removed. This tool, along with quite a few others (DirectMail being another) which are often called 'SPAM tools', are genuinely useful products with a definitively legal, non-aggresive use.
In future, try not to take out frustrations on the developers for what some people may use the product for; I'd imagine 90% of the developers of software like this intend for it to be used for legal, ethical purposes. Just my two cents.

All well & good, but unfortunately not everyone who download, and use this program are people sending emails to consensual clients. I'm not dissing the program, how it was written, or how it works. I AM VERY concerned with what it does. If it could be written in such a way that it would be impossible, or even extremely hard for spammers, and un-consensual "bulk" email, then fine.Actually I guess I'm a little hot on this subject after losing two good email addresses I have had for over 3 years due to excessive spam & junk, even after installing anti-spam software. I was EXTRA careful about how I used my email address, so I know the only way my addys were "up for grabs" was through programs like this. If this program could ONLY be used in an honest fashion, then I will wait in line to give it 5 stars (provided it does what it says), until then I have nothing but contempt for this, and anything like it. BTW....respect to those who use it in an honest manner.
Spam: To mass-mail UNREQUESTED, identical or nearly-identical email messages, particularly those containing advertising. Especially used when the mail addresses have been culled from network traffic or databases without the consent of the recipients.
