I'm very aware of the difference. One means the
other person gives up their email address if THEY
want to. The other means you spam them.

If there's some other reason you want their SMTP
and not go through eBay, fill me in. There are no
"legal" and ethical messages to get across that you
can't do with eBay messages. Step outside the rules
and ethics and you would probably want SMTP so that
you don't get caught.

Can you give me a ride to Home Depot?

You're the one that brought up SMTP.
I know what Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is.

You simply want to be able to spam your
customers. Otherwise you wouldn't be
giving these roundabout answers.

Wow. Lumpy left out a couple of words and it confused the heck out of you.

I doubt that any of the older regulars are not aware of SMTP. Many of us
started with Unix/CP/M in the days long before Tim Berners-Lee and his
curse. You are not the only who can claim posts back into the early
eighties.

I didn't realise that carrier pigeons were suggestive, but here goes.

I suggest carrier pigeons.

(I just wanted to get in ahead of Lumpy.)
