no, you don't seem to understand. implementing the kind of thing you
describe is easy. but the whole idea of this thing is to advertise thier
services in disguise of thier customer asking for this feature.
all their customers simply wants to be notified to thier cellcom whenever
they receive an email, the people (that use thier services) that I talked
was never even aware that they are sending this piece of junk on with
thier address on it. I believe this is forging, which is even more serious
abuse then spamming IMHO.
