Service, der das auch macht:

Newsgroups: alt.test
Subject: SPREAD THIS TO SAVE USENET & THE INTERNET

Here's your chance to protest ITAR and whatever other CPUNK thing you
feel worthwile. 
Enjoy! 
 
CONGRESSIONAL MAILBOT SERVICE 
 
This service is provided to make it easy for you to get your message
to all members of the House or Senate that have E-Mail mailboxes. By
sending a single message to the service addressed at HOUSE@MAILBOT.COM
and/or SENATE@MAILBOT.COM, your single message will be expanded and
resent to all members of those specified houses as if YOU had E-Mailed
each and everyone of them yourself. 
 
Any E-Mail responses to your inquiries will be sent directly back to
your own E-Mail box. 
 
WHERE DO I SEND MY E-MAIL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? 
 
In order to use this service, you need to address your E-Mail to one
or both of the addresses listed below. 
 
FOR MEMBERS OF TU House@Mailbot.com 
FOR MEMBERS OF THE US SENATE: 
Senate@Mailbot.com 
 
WHO WILL RECEIVE THIS E-MAIL? 
 
Your incoming message is sent to all currently known members of
congress that have E-Mail mailboxes. The Congressional Mailbot System
updates it's list of members of both the Houses every 30 days. At that
time, new email addresses are added to the Mailbot Server. 
 
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MESSAGE? 
 
Most members of congress do not have the staff to deal with replies
via both regular mail and E-Mail. Most would prefer to reply to your
specific request by way of regular postal mail. In order for them to
do that, you need to include your NAME, ADDRESS, CITY & STATE so that
they can send you a response. 
 
WHAT NOT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MESSAGE? 
 
Basically, your message should be short and to the point. It is not
wise to include large amounts of text from other sources. If you want
to point out to them about such sources, simply tell them where you
saw it. 
Imagine getting hundreds of email messages containing the same
material over and over. The meaning gets lost. Make your message clear
and easy to read. 
 
WARNING 
 
Each member of the House or Senate which receives a message from you
via the Mailbot, will respond with a reply message. 
 
THIS CAN GENERATE A LOT OF EMAIL INTO YOUR MAILBOX. 
 
If for example, at the time you send your request to the Mailbot,
there are 130 members of the specific house you select, you will get
back 130 reply messages from those members when they receive your
message. Currently, the automatic replies are about 750 bytes in size
and only contain a header with no message body. 
 
These replies are sent to let you know that the Congress Person you
sent the message to, has received it in their E-Mailbox. 
 
Some users use systems that only allow so much email per month for
free and then charge for email sent/received after that! 
 
IF YOU CANNOT HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN YOUR MAILBOX 
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! 
 
WHAT IF I WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE TO A SPECIFIC Congress Persons? 
 
THEN YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS SERVICE! This service is for E-Mail
intended 
for ALL members of the House and/or Senate. Individual messages to 
specific Congress Persons should be sent by other means. 
 
LIMITATIONS: 
 
This is a very popular tool.... Several rules need to be enforced to 
ensure that this service does not overburden the systems that are 
connected to it. The following rules are in place... 
 
1 The Mailbot will reject any message that is larger than 5,000 bytes 
in size. This provides you with a total of 66 lines of 80 columns per 
line for your message which is a whole page of information to make
your point. 
 
2 Please limit usage of the mailbot to no more than one message per 72

hour period (one each to HOUSE and SENATE is ok). 
 
3 Abusive and obscene messages violate the purpose and spirit of this 
service and WILL place the originator of such messages on a rejection 
list. 
 
Users who cannot abide by the above limitations will be placed
permanently on a rejection list and all further attempts to use the
service will result that user's messages being rejected by the
service. 
 
PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS? 
 
If you have any problems or questions about this service, please
direct them to the following E-Mail address: Mailbot@Mailbot.Com 
 
TELL A FRIEND? 
 
If you should tell a friend or colleague about this service, PLEASE 
INCLUDE THIS MESSAGE. This will save them time in knowing what is 
permitted and will keep questions about the service down to a minimum.
