Is soliciting your own business services through an email list obtained at your previous job legal?

Someone contacted me through my school email address soliciting his services as a internship coach. After googling this guy's name I found that he recently worked for a non-profit organization that helps students find internships for free - I applied to this program a couple of months ago and assume this is how he obtained my email address.

Technically it's against the CANSPAM act, as you did not register to receive his information, and you didn't double opt-in.





So without knowing the details, I'd say no, it's not legal.
Reply: If you're sure the non profit you applied to is legitimate you could always call or write them and tell them this guy is using their list to solicit his own services. If you didn't agree to be solicited by this guy you should report him as a spammer and block his email. If he's still working for this NPO and they find out he's spamming people he will be gone in a flash. Also you should check these people out and make sure they're legit. Something doesn't sound right about the whole thing.


There are a lot of con artists out there that prey on students. Be careful.

Which company has best email hosting service and is reasonable in price?

I recommend you to setup Google Apps for your domain.


http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/ind...





All you need is the domain name and you let the google host your email. So you basically get a gmail account (up to 50 email addresses totally free) but with your own domain (like me@mysite.com othermail@mysite.com somethirdmail@mysite.com...). You also get a calendar, simple website and a lot more. And if you want to use some email client like Outlook or Thunderbird and not the gmail web app, you can. POP3 and IMAP are also supported. Check them out. This is a much better solution than any hosting company offers.

It kind of depends on what features you are needing..





If you are needing groupware features like shared contacts, calendars, syncing of contacts and calendars to your smart phone and pushmail, I think the hosting service from http://www.keriomailhosting.com is great, and compared to any other service of it's kind, the price is great. I can't live without the pushmail service to my phone. It has webmail and works with outlook, entourage and several other e-mail programs.





It also support pushmail with iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and Symbian.

Im a counsellor who is looking at using email to open up new areas of service to to others what do you think?

You'd have to build up a reputation, I would think. As another answerer said, no one can really know who you are or what your credentials are. However - advice is advice. If you give good advice, people will ask you for more.





I mean, look at Ann Landers. Thousands of people asked for her advice through the mail. In the beginning, no one knew who she was or what her abilities were. She made a successful career out of it.





It also depends on what other new areas of service you're looking to open up to people - and if you're looking to profit off of it or just help people. But you never know until you try, right?

I wouldn't use you as how do you really know who and what you are dealing with?


People can write anything they want on the computer, and be whoever they want to be. That's like a physic doing it over the phone.
