-------------------------------------- ICQ History Log For: 3483645 Rodona Started on Sun Apr 16 13:28:31 2000 -------------------------------------- Shary 9/4/98 3:20 PM Hi... Suppose you could fax the check by tomorrow morning so David can deposit it? John said he's mailing now. I never did get anymore seeds from that 55k. Just 6 total! I just went and slept for a couple of hours. I'm going to try some 10k rotation mailings and see what happens. Will let you know. Shary 9/4/98 4:01 PM I am trying the 10k rotation and only got 3 seeds on the first 10. Second ten is mailing now. No leads from the earlier mailing. Rodona 9/27/98 8:12 AM I got ''em ! Thanks!! Shary 9/27/98 9:18 AM John is ready to go back to work. Can you get a dental ad code for him? Rodona 9/27/98 10:07 AM Yes, I''ll send a message to Steve right now and get him one. Shary 9/27/98 10:30 AM Thanks. Shary 9/27/98 11:58 AM Did I send you my NameGrabber list from 9/23? I don't think I did, but I'm not sure. I think the last one I sent was about 9/15. Let me know. If I didn't, I'll send it to mermaid unless you want it to go somewhere else. Shary 9/27/98 12:04 PM Would it be ok to do a check for tomorrow? 125 leads this week. Let's hope it picks up. I think what we're doing is very positive. fax: 602-532-7015 Thanks! Shary 9/28/98 10:29 AM I could scream! Andy just finished coding a website for me on Mike's server and I got 25k mailed before it went down! Hardly justifies the 3 hours Andy spent coding the cgi for it. Aaaagggghhhhh!!!!!! Rodona 9/28/98 2:25 PM Shary have you heard from Mike? Shary 9/28/98 2:26 PM No, and as near as I can tell everything is down .... the main server, backup server and even the server status page. Rodona 9/28/98 2:27 PM It looks like he has made changes to all the domains at internic so he must be moving us. I hate when we are out of the loop like this. It would be nice if he would alert us in advance so we could not mail for awhile :-(... Shary 9/28/98 2:27 PM BTW, I mailed 400,000 for dental over the weekend and this morning, and about 200,000 for mortgage. John is working now and would like to mail the dental ad. I have enough new Delphin leads to mix 2 or 3 more bunches. Shary 9/28/98 2:28 PM Sure would! Andy had just finished some serious cgi scripting for me about 30 minutes before Mike went down. Rodona 9/28/98 2:29 PM I''ll get Arn to give me an update on the #''s for the dental plan. They normally call him twice or so weekly and let him know what the #''s are. John''s # is 4000 and he can add the date, i.e. 4000-928. I owe you for how many leads for last week? I need to get you a check. Rodona 9/28/98 2:30 PM Well Internic''s database reflects: Database last updated on 28-Sep-98 04:06:31 EDT. Shary 9/28/98 2:30 PM 125. 602-532-7015 Thanks Shary 9/28/98 2:30 PM What does that really mean to us? Rodona 9/28/98 2:54 PM I lost my train there. What does what mean :-)? Shary 9/28/98 2:54 PM The update at the internic site. I do that all the time! Rodona 9/28/98 3:06 PM Oh :-) - not sure where that train went :-) . I guess he updated the records at internic with the new info and we''ll go live when Internic updates their records tonight at midnight. At least that is what I hope :-) Shary 9/28/98 3:07 PM I hope so to. Do you understand what he is doing or why? Rodona 9/28/98 3:09 PM I think he must be relocating us to a new provider? That is the only thing I can think of anyway. Shary 9/28/98 3:10 PM Oh, that would make sense I guess. I think it would be nice if he would warn us though. Rodona 9/28/98 3:22 PM Sorry I keep popping in and out. My birthday is today and everyone has decided to call in the last hour so I''m hopping up and down to catch the phone :-). Yes, it would definitely be nice if he would warn us when this is happening. I''ll see if I can''t call him in the morning. Shary 9/28/98 3:23 PM HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! Rodona 9/28/98 3:23 PM Thanks! Shary 9/29/98 2:45 AM HI ... Would like to make an early bank run if you can get check to me sometime in the morning. Thanks. Rodona 9/29/98 5:40 AM It''s done! Sorry I forgot yesterday afternoon. I put a proposal on the table yesterday for a 100 million project for a political group and I have to admit that I''m a little overwhelmed by that :-). Shary 9/29/98 9:20 AM Wow! I can imagine! How exciting for you. Shary 9/29/98 9:29 AM Hi ... You got 2 and a half orders this week -- 125 leads -- should be $250. OK if I print the check for that amount? Shary 9/29/98 10:33 AM I got so excited when Mike came back up last night that I stayed up till 4 AM and mailed 400k. Guess what! He's down again. Rodona 9/29/98 10:37 AM Yes, certainly. I was going by your ICQ message which said $125.00. Didn''t mean to short you. Shary 9/29/98 10:38 AM I know that :-) I must have said dollars instead of leads! Rodona 9/29/98 10:38 AM I think he''s back up because I just tried the results page and got in fine. Rodona 9/29/98 10:38 AM Probably so !! :-) Shary 9/29/98 10:38 AM I'll try again. Tried 5 minutes ago. Rodona 9/29/98 10:39 AM Well the backup site works. Let me try the other one. Rodona 9/29/98 10:44 AM Did you ever find Mike''s address? I still need to pay him. Primary site is still offline :-( Rodona 9/29/98 10:44 AM How are you getting into AOL these days? Shary 9/29/98 10:47 AM Still using stealth. Yesterday was terrible, but last night was good. What is the url again for the backup site? I wonder if I'm on it and just don't know it. Wouldn't that be a trip? Rodona 9/29/98 10:48 AM Well the # is 208.166.10.7 so why not try http://208.166.10.7/whateveryourdirectory is? That might work OR he may have another IP # assigned to each backup in which case this wouldn''t work. You need to get him on the phone and see what''s up with this. Let him put you in both places just in case. My experience has been that both are unstable BUT it''s better than nothing. Shary 9/29/98 10:49 AM I'll let you know what happens. Rodona 9/29/98 10:49 AM ok. I need to call him myself but I''m always afraid that he''ll say "you really have to stop hijacking" :-) so I don''t call very often :-) Shary 9/29/98 10:50 AM I truly understand! I'll call this time and let you know what he says. Rodona 9/29/98 10:51 AM Ok :-) - if you get a chance ask him what happened to my mailbox contents and can I ftp them or something. I had a million mailing go out and the results are in that email box. I can''t access it anymore :-( - would certainly like to get to them ya know? Shary 9/29/98 10:52 AM Yes, I will definitely ask him. Shary 9/29/98 10:53 AM His voice mail box is full. Drat! Shary 9/29/98 11:33 AM Mike is back up! Rodona 9/29/98 11:41 AM Great! He is up and down but at least he gets back up :-) Shary 9/29/98 11:42 AM I think he really tries hard. Rodona 9/29/98 11:43 AM I do to - that''s why I really need to get him a payment because he does try so hard. I don''t want him to suffer financially at any rate. Happy to pay more than he charges ya know? I certainly do pay more in most cases :-) Shary 9/29/98 11:44 AM I know. His prices are very very reasonable. I will email him and ask for address again so we can send payment. That should get his attention! Rodona 9/29/98 11:45 AM Yep :-) - I want to keep him happy with us :-) Shary 9/29/98 11:47 AM Me 2. I hope the Delphin people are happier with this last group of leads. And that was just one-third new ones. Will try for half on the next orders till we use up what I already had. I will do more mortgage ad today or tomorrow. Got out 400k for dental ad. That will be interesting to see how the responses go. Shary 9/29/98 12:02 PM down again Rodona 9/29/98 12:03 PM Drat! I was just pulling responses to :-) - go figure. Shary 9/29/98 12:04 PM He must be working on it right now. Shary 9/29/98 12:04 PM I pulled leads one minute and got no access the next. Rodona 9/29/98 12:05 PM Yep, he''s probably getting everything back online. Shary 9/29/98 12:05 PM let's hope so Shary 9/29/98 2:40 PM This is what John's leads look like: Account Name: John DoeLead Name: KENNETH HENRY Lead Submitted on URL: http://208.166.10.13/Loanforyou.asp Lead Submitted at: 9/28/98 3:50:48 PM Shary 9/29/98 6:44 PM I don't need anymore than what comes to me. But I think I'll ask John to forward his to you and see if it makes any sense to you. Rodona 9/29/98 6:56 PM Sounds good. All of his leads should be in that format I sent earlier. If he has additional ones that are off the "old" site we can''t sell those. Now if they are recent (within two days or so) he can reenter them into his site and get payment from them. But this company is a totally paperless company and they don''t accept the old format that we were using. We spent about 5,000 to get this new database system going for them. Rodona 9/29/98 6:57 PM Yep that''s what it should look like. He''s gotten 107 of those? Let me know because I''ll pitch a conniption fit if so. He may need to forward them to me ok? Shary 9/29/98 6:57 PM Thanks. I'll let him know. Rodona 9/29/98 7:22 PM Shary, I just spoke with Steve and he has a total of 34 leads for John (this is up through right now). You have 137 total. He sent a check yesterday for stuff through last week. Some of these will be on next week''s check. He has complete stats that come from the server if you need them. Rodona 9/30/98 5:54 PM Shary have you talked to Mike? He sent me an ICQ asking for my # :-( - I always worry ya know? :-) Shary 9/30/98 6:51 PM Know. I tried to email him but it came back. And his answering machine was full and I couldn't leave a message. Rodona 9/30/98 7:57 PM Shary what is the latest secret on getting into AOL? Not getting in anything! Sooo frustrating those folks are. Shary 9/30/98 8:00 PM I've had a wretched day for mailing. Whatever the secrets are today, I don't have them! I've had a groups of servers that have lasted for over a week. I've sort of rotated them. Only a couple are getting through tonight, and with very limited seeds. I don't know. :-( Rodona 9/30/98 8:01 PM Are you randomizing anything? It appears to be the dialup on my end. If I use my local dialup my tests get in fine but if I use bellsouth.net, gte.net, ibm.net, sprynet.com, etc. no test messages get in much less seeds! Shary 9/30/98 8:02 PM I'm using Concentric with nothing randomized. Tried GTE earlier and got zip. Rodona 9/30/98 8:02 PM Then it must be the dialups they are blocking huh? Shary 9/30/98 8:03 PM I think it also has a lot to do with location. I know a whole groups in California who are getting in like thieves. They are using GTE and AT&T. Rodona 9/30/98 8:04 PM drat drat drat!! Shary 9/30/98 8:05 PM Your 4-letter words are so NICE! Rodona 9/30/98 8:06 PM :-) - I could cheerly strangle AOL sometimes. Wonder who I could use that would get in like a thief :-) Shary 9/30/98 8:08 PM Did you say you can use your local? Shary 9/30/98 8:09 PM Do you know if Mike has been up at all today? He's been down every time I've checked. Rodona 9/30/98 8:10 PM Yes, test messages get in but I hate to burn up a local one because I''m just that...local and not many ISP''s in my area. I have kept a really low "I''m a blonde" profile with them :-) - don''t want them to know I am spamming my heart out :-) Shary 9/30/98 8:10 PM I can understand that. Rodona 9/30/98 8:10 PM First thing this morning the secondary was online now neither one is operational. I''m really sweating it as to why Mike needs to talk to me. My biggest fear is that I''m responsible for his down time ya know? Shary 9/30/98 8:11 PM I get nervous about things like that too. But I think if it was that serious, he would call me to get your number. The secondary is up now, but I'm not on it. Rodona 9/30/98 8:12 PM Put your stuff up on my domain if you want to ok? Shary 9/30/98 8:14 PM Thanks. I am just mailing for Andy tonight and using his server, but if I'm not up in the morning I'd like to put one page up. I appreciate the offer. Shary 10/1/98 11:30 AM I lost my Concentric account :-( and have not been able to get anything out with GTE or AT&T. What's your experience today? Shary 10/1/98 11:33 AM Mike's voice mail box is still full. Not a good sign. Rodona 10/2/98 11:31 AM Shary I have two Delphin orders :-)!! Shary 10/2/98 11:46 AM Hooray! Will get them mixed and sent right away. Rodona 10/2/98 11:47 AM THANKS!! I think things will pick up with them now that they know what we are doing , i.e. with the web page. Shary 10/2/98 11:48 AM I hope so because it is really pretty easy money! Any numbers on dental yet? Rodona 10/2/98 11:49 AM Not really substantial #''s - I think you had four the last time I heard from Steve. But I think that was early into the game. I get folks that call a month later sometimes! Or they think about, etc. I''ll get an update from him the beginning of the week. Shary 10/2/98 11:50 AM OK, thanks. Rodona 10/2/98 11:51 AM I''m expecting a check for mortage leads for the first week any day now. He said it''s in the mail so as soon as I get it I''ll cut you a check for that. Shary 10/2/98 11:53 AM Yippee!! Shary 10/5/98 7:46 AM Hi ... I'm leaving town in about 2 hours. Could I get the check so I can print it out for David before I go? Thanks. Rodona 10/5/98 1:53 PM Shary I have an order for half an order. Can you send those before you leave? Rodona 10/5/98 1:53 PM Check is coming within the hour. Shary 10/6/98 12:14 PM Hi ... I didn't get your ICQ before I left but will send half order over within 30 minutes. Also, did you fax the check to 602-532-7015? It isn't in my mailbox. Rodona 10/6/98 6:24 PM Shary I sent the check over yesterday. Still don''t have it? Let me know and I''ll refax it right now. Shary 10/6/98 6:26 PM No, for some reason it did not come through. Did you get the half order? I'll be here all day tomorrow and leave early Thursday. Then will be back Sun night. fax 602-532-7015 Rodona 10/6/98 6:26 PM I''ll refax it right now ok? Shary 10/6/98 6:26 PM I put one page on your 208. site with Mike. No Front Page on that one, right? Shary 10/6/98 6:27 PM That would be great. Thanks a bunch! Rodona 10/6/98 6:27 PM I think Frontpage is on it. In fact I''m sure it is because I can use my frontpage forms and clear them, etc. Shary 10/6/98 6:28 PM OK, great. I got an error message when I tried to submit my form so used an email instead. I'll take another look later. Did you ever talk to Mike and find out why he wanted your phone number? I have not been able to contact him at all. Rodona 10/6/98 6:29 PM No he hasn''t been in touch and I really need to send him some money. Did you ever find his address? Shary 10/6/98 6:30 PM No, and I can't call him or email him. I will try ICQ again, because he does check it from time to time. I want to send him a check too. Assuming he is going to get back up. Rodona 10/6/98 6:31 PM I''m not sure what is going on with him. His backup is up but that''s about all. Shary 10/6/98 6:31 PM I'll try all avenues again tomorrow -- email, phone, ICQ -- and let you know what happens. Rodona 10/6/98 6:32 PM Great! I''m not sure what''s up and why he hasn''t been in touch with me after asking for my #. Shary 10/6/98 6:33 PM I'll let you know if I have any contact with him at all. Rodona 10/6/98 6:33 PM Thanks!! Shary 10/6/98 6:33 PM np -- ttyl Shary 10/6/98 7:00 PM Did you send the check again? I'm just asking because I didn't get it and don't know if I have a fax problem. Rodona 10/6/98 7:01 PM It left my fax machine about five minutes ago. Rodona 10/6/98 7:02 PM If you don''t get it shortly let me know and I''ll just ICQ you the check info ok? Shary 10/6/98 7:02 PM I'll let you know if I don't get it in another 5. Then maybe you can just ICQ me the check number and amount. I can't imaging what is holding it up. Silly computers anyway! Shary 10/6/98 7:02 PM Great minds !!! Rodona 10/6/98 7:03 PM I just said this :-) - we must be thinking alike :-) Rodona 10/6/98 7:03 PM Definitely great minds :-)!! Rodona 10/6/98 7:03 PM Brains, beauty - what can we say :-)?? Shary 10/6/98 7:03 PM I just got it. Thanks. Shary 10/6/98 7:04 PM That says it all! Rodona 10/6/98 7:04 PM Great! You welcome. Another present for ya... http://bulknet.dynip.com/Crackz/ Shary 10/6/98 7:04 PM Thanks for the present. I'll check it out. Rodona 10/6/98 7:05 PM Your welcome :-) Have you tried Extractors new extractor? Shary 10/6/98 7:05 PM No, I'm not sure I still have a need for it. How about you? Rodona 10/6/98 7:06 PM It''s great! Fast as a whiz but I''m not sure if there is a limitation on the demo or not. It seemed to stop at 30k or so for every state. I need more than 30k and I know there is more than 30k within a whole state, ya know? But it will pull 30k in about 30 minutes or less! Shary 10/6/98 7:07 PM How much is it? Rodona 10/6/98 7:07 PM $399.00 but I may have a crack for it tommorrow :-) Shary 10/6/98 7:07 PM Whoopie! I could certainly use it at that price :-) (and I don't mean the $399!) Rodona 10/6/98 7:08 PM Well someone told me that they are working on a crack right now. This site that I sent you has all of extractors programs on it. Shary 10/6/98 7:08 PM I'm looking at it now. All of Earthonline's too. Rodona 10/6/98 7:09 PM Go check it out. I''m going to put my fellas to bed but I''ll be back shortly. Rodona 10/6/98 7:09 PM Yep. Shary 10/6/98 7:09 PM later Rodona 10/6/98 8:34 PM Shary type in http://www.specialoffer.net and see what happens. I just did it for leadgeneration.net and the whole directory showed up!! Shary 10/6/98 8:35 PM That's very strange! I get it too. Suppose that means he is working on the server? Rodona 10/6/98 8:36 PM I don''t know but all is there for everyone to see - you can pull up the results pages and everything!! Shary 10/6/98 8:36 PM Mine is an old directory, not current. Shary 10/6/98 8:36 PM Drat! again! I wish he wasn't so hard to get hold of. Rodona 10/6/98 8:37 PM Me to!! Rodona 10/6/98 8:38 PM Internic''s database was changed today again so I guess he has found us a new home. Shary 10/6/98 8:42 PM That is super! But let's hope he doesn't leave our directories up there! Rodona 10/6/98 8:43 PM You said it! I just happened to stumble on it by accident. Shary 10/6/98 8:43 PM Thanks for letting me know. I don't even have those pages in Front Page anymore and none of my current pages are in the directory! Rodona 10/6/98 8:44 PM I think I have them on a couple of other servers :-) where we have been located. They are up at jtlenterprises.com and webperfect4u.com (I think) - that situation will be resolved within days I think. What a long drawn out fight that has been! Shary 10/6/98 8:46 PM Maybe the world will be perfect by the time I get back from Ohio! Wouldn't that be nice? Rodona 10/6/98 8:47 PM Yes!! :-) Are you going to visit your children? Shary 10/6/98 8:47 PM David's oldest son and his family live near Cleveland and David wants to show me where he grew up. Rodona 10/6/98 8:48 PM That sounds great. Does David''s oldest have children? Shary 10/6/98 8:48 PM A 3-year old son and 2 step-daughters, 8 and 11. Rodona 10/6/98 8:49 PM Well that will be fun! Do you get along well with his children? I know from experience that that can sometimes be a problem. Shary 10/6/98 8:50 PM Yes, we have vacationed together and it was very nice. The 3-year old can be obnoxious, but I can survive! Rodona 10/6/98 8:50 PM Three year olds are obnoxious - there is no way around it :-)!! Shary 10/6/98 8:51 PM Very true. Shary 10/7/98 1:28 PM r u there? Shary 10/8/98 6:42 AM I mailed till late last night to fill the Delphin orders and got up to process them at 6 this morning. Guess what! Now the backup site is down. Everything lost. In case it comes back up while I'm gone, they are in the mccs directory and the file name is matt_results. Go ahead and pull them. I will send what few I have now. Rodona 10/12/98 8:49 AM Hi Shary this is Lynda, Rodona''s assistant. She''s not in the office this am but I thought that I would give you a heads up.... I just received an order for 25 leads. So if your not already pulling some you could start on these for Rodona and I''ll let her know that your working on them. Thanks--Have a great day!! Lynda Shary 10/12/98 8:49 AM Thanks, Lynda. I did a small mailing last night and will work on getting some more leads today. I appreciate the notice. Rodona 10/12/98 9:27 AM This is Lynda again. I just received another order for 25 leads,please. Thanks Shary 10/12/98 9:36 AM OK, thanks. Rodona 10/12/98 10:50 AM Shary I have a total of 86 leads from last week. 1 1/2 orders plus the 11 extras. I really need to get another 39 leads today if you have them available. I had promised for today but if it''s not possible I''ll just call and explain a delay ok? No pressure on your first day back :-). Lynda told me she sent you the new stuff already. How was your trip?? Shary 10/12/98 10:56 AM I have 38 so far and did a small mailing last night so a few more should come in. Shary 10/12/98 10:58 AM Just checked and no more new ones yet. I'm getting ready to mail some more. Have you been able to mail? All I could get to work last night was Direct Mail and I only got 66 out of 100 seeds. This morning I only got 35 out of 100. YUK! Rodona 10/12/98 11:08 AM I can''t get squat into AOL! 38 leads will round out another order for me if you want to do it that way. Actually just need one more don''t we :-)? My math isn''t the greatest! Shary 10/12/98 11:10 AM Right, one more will make 50. I'll keep checking and send them over as soon as one comes in. Shouldn't take very long. Rodona 10/12/98 11:19 AM ok Thanks!! If you need me to help mail let me know ok? Shary 10/12/98 11:20 AM Thanks. I'm trying some new servers. I'll see how it goes. This is AWFUL!! Shary 10/12/98 11:57 AM Just got #39. Which address shall I send to? Rodona 10/12/98 11:59 AM contactme@premierservices.com and THANKS!! Saved my bacon again. I''ll also get you a check over today OR if you want to wait until tommorrow we should have the next pay check. He is supposed to overnight it today. Shary 10/12/98 11:59 AM Then lets go for tomorrow. Rodona 10/12/98 1:02 PM Shary did you send the leads? I haven''t gotten them yet that''s why I''m asking :-) Rodona 10/12/98 1:05 PM Are you getting into AOL? With DirectMail? Shary 10/12/98 1:25 PM Hi ... I just got back from the store and resent them. Let me know if you don't have them in a few minutes. I did 2 mailings of 100k each with DM. Got 66 seeds with one and 35 with the other. Pretty terrible. Rodona 10/12/98 1:53 PM What are your settings and dialup with DM? I''m not getting in yet. Just started though. I haven''t gotten the leads yet. Let''s try my aol addresses...Iamhit1998@aol.com. Shary 10/12/98 1:54 PM OK. Sent to IAMHIT1998. I am using Concentric for my dialup and 10/10 for my settings. Rodona 10/12/98 1:58 PM Using a backup server? Shary 10/12/98 2:00 PM Yes, that is the ONLY way it will work. Shary 10/12/98 2:07 PM Did you get list at IAMHIT? Rodona 10/12/98 2:12 PM Yes, thanks! How do you seed with DM? It takes out the duplicates. Shary 10/12/98 2:21 PM Seed your list and rename it with an srt extension instead of txt. Rodona 10/12/98 6:10 PM One dupe and one eyeballed as obviously not "right". Thought I would let you know so we can correct it before it goes out. Shary 10/12/98 9:11 PM I sent 2 replacements to IAMHIT1998. Rodona 10/13/98 7:19 AM It tells me that that mail is currently unavailable for some reason! Can''t get to it this morning. Rodona 10/13/98 10:30 AM 3 more replacements just now via the phone. All sounded legit. One was a duplicate, 2nd one was a duplicate except the phone #''s were different (probably someone pulling out chain) and the third one was a disconnected #. Shary 10/13/98 11:13 AM I'll send them to IAMHIT Rodona 10/13/98 12:40 PM Shary what do you have as far as leads today? I just got another order BTW and I have two 1/2 orders from yesterday. Shary 10/13/98 12:47 PM I only have about 15. Was just doing a mailing of 100k and the server I was using bit the dust. I'll try some others and try to start the mailing right away. Did you get the overnight check on the mortgage deal? If not let's go ahead with a check for Delphin so David can do his bank run. Thanks. Rodona 10/13/98 12:47 PM No not yet because we both forgot that yesterday was a holiday :-) but I''ll go ahead and cut ya a check for everything so far. I owe you for how many Delphin leads now? Shary 10/13/98 12:50 PM 125 leads (2 and a half orders) 602-532-7015 Thanks! Rodona 10/13/98 12:53 PM Shary what is your Dental Code? 2000? Shary 10/13/98 12:53 PM Yes. Shary 10/13/98 1:29 PM Do you have any lists of foreign addresses? Rodona 10/13/98 1:29 PM yes :-) - ya want some? Shary 10/13/98 1:30 PM How many do you have? Any idea? Rodona 10/13/98 1:30 PM No I don''t know exact count. I have over 1 million foreign email addresses but I also have some files broken down by country. Shary 10/13/98 1:31 PM I may want all you have. I'll trade you AOL for foreign if that is ok, or leads for addresses. Whatever works for you. Rodona 10/13/98 1:34 PM I really don''t need AOL''s - can''t get in drat it! I''m using this new software I have that pulls by domain. My response rate has been very high so far. We''ll work something out if you need them. Shary 10/13/98 1:36 PM OK. I think I want all the European, South American, Japanese and Australian I can get. No Canada. What is the software? Do you like it? Do you sell it? Rodona 10/13/98 1:39 PM Well he is just starting to sell it. I''ve been using it for about a month now. You can get approximately 10 million email addresses that have already be extracted when you purchase the program. The program is $1000.00 my price though so that is a deterrent. Shary 10/13/98 1:40 PM Can you get names by foreign extension? Rodona 10/13/98 1:41 PM You just type the domain in and it pulls from that domain :-) Shary 10/13/98 1:42 PM So I would have to identify domains in foreign countries. That's possible, I would think. Rodona 10/13/98 1:47 PM Yes, I think it would be. Shary 10/13/98 1:48 PM I'll think on that one. But I do want to work something out for the foreign addresses. I can use anything but Canada and US. Shary 10/13/98 2:15 PM ICQ me when you fax check because I don't have my mail program open. Thanks. Rodona 10/13/98 2:16 PM Ok. I''m waiting on Steve to get back to me with the totals from last week''s check because I misplaced the check stub which had the totals on it of course :-( - I think I would lose my head if it wasn''t attached. Shary 10/13/98 2:17 PM no problem ... I think it's a very good thing heads are attached!!! I'd misplace mine like I do my glasses. Rodona 10/13/98 2:18 PM Thank goodness I haven''t graduated to glasses yet ! I would be in sad shape. I lose my retainer all the time and that''s bad enough :-) - haven''t lost the kids yet so that''s a good thing :-) Rodona 10/13/98 2:19 PM I just sent Steve another ICQ to tell him to hurry it up. Shary 10/13/98 2:19 PM Thanks! Still laughing about the kids. Rodona 10/13/98 2:38 PM Shary is the 125 leads for this week? Shary 10/13/98 2:40 PM Yes, since the last check. M6 (half order), M7 and M8. Does that match your records? Rodona 10/13/98 2:41 PM I couldn''t remember if some of this were carried over from last week or not. Shary 10/13/98 2:43 PM I show M4 and M5 for last week, but please make a correction if I'm wrong. Shary 10/13/98 2:53 PM I was double checking through the message history to make sure I was right on the leads and came across this: "Shary I have a total of 86 leads from last week. 1 1/2 orders plus the 11 extras. I really need to get another 39 leads today if you have them" So I'm pretty sure we're in agreement. I'll put the batch numbers on my checks from now on. Shary 10/13/98 3:16 PM That is good news. Any idea how many? I've been waiting for a rough count before mailing any more. Of course, can't mail right now anyway. Drat! Rodona 10/13/98 4:07 PM No problem! I''m just checking to make sure I get you all that is due ya. I have 91 leads John Doe (49) Shary (91) - mortgage leads and 4 dental signups but the good news is your dental signups really went up :-) for the next week. That should make a nice check. Shary 10/13/98 7:29 PM Can I get 2-300k foreign addresses from you right away? Have a project that needs to be done tonight. Will pay however you say. Rodona 10/14/98 8:20 AM Shary I just got this ICQ!! I''m sooo sorry. I can send them over right away if you like? I have a sick little fellow and it has been rather hectic here the past couple of days. Shary 10/14/98 8:23 AM I'm so sorry to hear you've got a sick one. Poor little guy ... poor mommy too! Can you just send 200k for now. It is so slow to send mixed domains and I only have till midnight tonight. Also, did you get to send the check yet? Not bugging you, just keeping track. Rodona 10/14/98 8:43 AM Yes, I will. Right away. I''ll also get your check over this morning to. I didn''t get that done yesterday - among other things :-) What is the status on leads? I''m mailing as well but not getting alot of response so far. Shary 10/14/98 8:46 AM I'm checking leads right now. Shary 10/14/98 8:48 AM I only have 19 right now, but more should be trickling in. Rodona 10/14/98 8:50 AM Orders are pouring in. Hope we can fill ''em all :-) Shary 10/14/98 8:51 AM Me too! This is what we've been waiting for. I'm setting up another DM mailing. Seems to be the only thing working right now. At least for me. Rodona 10/14/98 8:52 AM I''m going to try DM again myself. I still haven''t figured out how to seed the lists. I''ll play around with that today. Shary 10/14/98 8:54 AM Just seed like you do for Stealth, then go to Windows Explorer, move the file to the Direct Mail directory and rename it. Example: oct10.txt would become oct10.srt Then, when you go to open it in DM, select sorted files as file type and select the file you just renamed. Shary 10/14/98 8:54 AM Did that make sense? Rodona 10/14/98 9:00 AM I''ll try it :-) Shary 10/14/98 9:15 AM I've got a mailing going now for Delphin. I'll check leads often and keep you posted. Rodona 10/14/98 9:25 AM THANKS !! I have about 4 orders this morning plus what I had already. Shary 10/14/98 9:25 AM WOW !!! So is that 4 plus 2 half orders? Rodona 10/14/98 9:31 AM Yes! A couple more maybe''s that we haven''t followed up with yet. Shary 10/14/98 9:32 AM I've got a new list that I'm mailing to and it looks like I'm getting in OK so we should get at least 2 orders today and I'll keep mailing for tomorrow for the others. Rodona 10/14/98 9:33 AM k. I''m going to mail as well so that we can get caught up. Shary 10/14/98 9:34 AM Good. Let's hope Mike doesn't pull the plug on the back up site because that's where I have the web form. Rodona 10/14/98 9:35 AM I hear that!! Rodona 10/14/98 10:23 AM Shary I just sent the check and the email addresses are on their way. Shary 10/14/98 10:24 AM You are an angel. thanks. I will give you a lead report in the next hour or so. Rodona 10/14/98 10:30 AM cool Shary 10/14/98 11:49 AM Thanks for the lists and the check. You show 225 Delphin leads on the check, but there were 125. Also have a slight difference on the total: John - mortgage 49 x 3 = 147 Shary - mortgage 91 x 3 = 273 Shary - dental 4 x 4 = 16 Delphin 125 x 2 = 250 TOTAL 686 What do you think? Shary 10/14/98 1:54 PM Hi ... If you get a chance I would really appreciate some more foreigns. The lists you sent before cleaned down to 4784, and I need thousands if you have them and if you have time to send them. Thanks! Shary 10/15/98 8:28 AM I have 63 leads so far. Do you want a half order now and the full order asap, or do you want a full order first? Rodona 10/15/98 12:09 PM As many as you can send!! They are swamping me with lead orders. I had a field trip this morning so wasn''t here but Joseph said he heard at least two messages come in stating they needed leads. I have one on my fax machine as well - 14 messages on my machine :-( - we wanted this but we had better be careful what we ask for :-) or we just might get it :-) Shary 10/15/98 3:25 PM I just got home. I'll check leads right away. Shary 10/15/98 5:25 PM I sent 2 full orders and 1 half order to IAMHIT. I have almost another half and they are still coming in. Shary 10/15/98 8:40 PM Did you get the 2 and a half orders I sent? My mail program is squirrely again. Rodona 10/16/98 8:39 AM No didn''t get ''em!! Shary 10/16/98 9:30 AM I will resend from skippy1518. I'm about to quit using takeaction altogether. Shary 10/16/98 10:45 AM Thanks for the lists and the check. You show 225 Delphin leads on the check, but there were 125. Also have a slight difference on the total: John - mortgage 49 x 3 = 147 Shary - mortgage 91 x 3 = 273 Shary - dental 4 x 4 = 16 Delphin 125 x 2 = 250 TOTAL 686 What do you think? Rodona 10/16/98 10:45 AM Thanks Shary!! Shary 10/16/98 10:46 AM You'e welcome. I have 41 so far, but I expect we'll need some of those as replacements. At least we could do a half order if you get one. Have you gotten very many leads? Rodona 10/16/98 10:56 AM I''m mailing to general internet addresses and have filled two orders myself so far but it''s hard to get as many leads with general internet I think. Shary 10/16/98 10:57 AM It's hard to know how many are really getting delivered because you can't seed the various domains. Rodona 10/16/98 10:59 AM Where did you send the leads? Iamhit1998@aol.com? If so they aren''t there yet - is this a surprise :-)? Shary 10/16/98 11:01 AM I think that's where I sent them :-) I can't even get into AOL right now to check. I keep getting timed out, and now I can't get back in. Are you having any AOL problems? Rodona 10/16/98 11:05 AM On one computer I am but I hopped over to the other one and got right on. The other one won''t initialize the TCP/IP feature for some reason. AOL might be having problems. If you want you can send them to sales@premierservices.com. Really need to distribute those babies before these folks start screaming :-). Shary 10/16/98 11:25 AM I'm in AOL now so will send to sales@premierservices.net and Iamhit1998@aol.com. Rodona 10/16/98 12:02 PM Not sure that last message got through. Where did you send the leads? I don''t have them on either email account. Thanks!! Rodona 10/16/98 12:02 PM Not sure that last message got through. Where did you send the leads? I don''t have them on either email account. Thanks!! Rodona 10/16/98 12:08 PM ok thanks! I''m going to lay down for a bit. Not feeling on top of it today so I think I''ll take a nap with Logan :-). Rodona 10/16/98 4:16 PM Shary do you have another 25 leads per chance :-)? Shary 10/16/98 4:26 PM I surely do. Would you like them? Silly question, right? I'll send them over in about 5 minutes. I'll do like last time and send to both addresses, ok? Rodona 10/16/98 4:27 PM k and thanks!! Rodona 10/19/98 7:24 PM Shary I got your message about moving! Wow! What a step that is. I have some major financial steps to take in order to continue mailing but it is all software related. I can''t move unfortunately :-). I''ll get another check over to you tonight or tommorrow for mortgage and dental leads. Shary 10/20/98 1:30 PM Moving date may be changed to the 31st. I'll know in a couple of days. I did get an apartment ... small but nice. Rodona 10/20/98 1:35 PM Cool! Do you know anyone who has hosting :-)? We are down and out all the way around I think. Shary 10/20/98 1:36 PM What about the lady we paid 350 to? Nothing going there? Is your site with Mike finally down? Rodona 10/20/98 1:39 PM I am still fighting with them. I was supposed to have ftp access today so we''ll see. Nothing yet. Mike has both our sites down. Quinn is down as well :-( Shary 10/20/98 1:41 PM Who is Quinn? Is that lcenterprises? Please let me know about the other one because Andy wants me to find a site for him to use also. But he wants it right away, of course. Rodona 10/20/98 1:44 PM jltenterprises.com I need to find some alternatives myself so if you come up with something let me know. I am not referring anyone to this other group until they get their act together. I paid them August 28 and have yet to mail to the sites. Shary 10/20/98 1:45 PM OK. I'll be focusing on that project today and will sure let you know if I find anything. Rodona 10/20/98 1:45 PM Is the message in Spanish? I know I have that many in Spanish countries so yes I can do the 200k tonight. Rodona 10/20/98 1:46 PM I have put out a few feelers as well. Wonder if we called Mike and pleaded our case if he would assist :-)? Shary 10/20/98 1:46 PM Did you send this to me by mistake? Is the message in Spanish? I know I have that many in Spanish countries so yes I can do the 200k tonight. Rodona 10/20/98 1:46 PM Yep :-)! Sorry! Shary 10/20/98 1:46 PM He was adamant when I talked to him about only doing what he calls the "pro accounts". I might try. Shary 10/20/98 1:46 PM I'm been there... done that !!! Rodona 10/20/98 1:47 PM It''s worth a try. I may have to do a pro account if this continues :-) Shary 10/20/98 1:53 PM I suppose they're already blocked by AOL. That's what happens with those web-based mailers. Rodona 10/20/98 2:44 PM He says not. Rodona 10/20/98 6:23 PM Shary here is the breakdown on the check I''m sending over. Mortgage leads - the four states he doesn''t have sold 33 - Shary 21 - John Dental Leads 20 - Shary 6 - John No hosting for mortgage but dental doesn''t require web space if you want to mail for it. Working on webhosting for mortgage :-) AND TX is now sold - wasn''t when this check came. All leads from now on out for TX will be paid up. Shary 10/20/98 6:24 PM That's great. thanks. I'll watch for the check. And, if I can get some mail out, I'll mail dental. Rodona 10/20/98 6:24 PM Still having trouble with AOL? I have to mail in batches of 10k and change the from field every time. Darn slow but it works. Shary 10/20/98 6:25 PM I'm going to try again tonight. Rodona 10/20/98 6:26 PM Good luck!! Lord knows we need it with AOL. Never know what kind of curve ball they are going to throw us. Shary 10/20/98 6:26 PM Never boring! Rodona 10/20/98 6:28 PM That is the truth! Shary 10/20/98 6:38 PM Will the check have the delphin leads too? Rodona 10/20/98 6:39 PM Sure it can. What # do I owe you for? I totally lose count of this stuff sometimes. Shary 10/20/98 6:39 PM I'm going to check so I am sujre I have it right this time! :-) Just a sec. Shary 10/20/98 6:42 PM N1 25 N2 25 N3 50 N4 50 N5 25 Total 125 I'm so proud of myself for keeping track this time !!! Rodona 10/20/98 6:43 PM You are good :-) Glad one of us knows what''s going on. Shary 10/20/98 6:44 PM We can take turns! I'm still host searching. Not doing much good though. Rodona 10/20/98 6:47 PM Me to. Rodona 10/21/98 11:33 AM Any luck with hosting yet? Shary 10/21/98 1:00 PM Nothing yet, how bout you? Rodona 10/21/98 1:02 PM webperfect4u.com should be up. Check it out. Your directory is juniper Shary 10/21/98 1:07 PM I'll check it. Thanks!!! Rodona 10/21/98 1:07 PM Your welcome :-)!! Shary 10/21/98 1:08 PM Did you fax a check? I'm having trouble with takeaction AGAIN which is where my faxes come? Shary 10/21/98 1:58 PM Can we use FrontPage on webperfect4u or do we use ftp? How can I access my pages? Also, Andy is very interested in getting a site. He is aware of the problems we've had but wants to talk to them. Can you give me the contact info? Rodona 10/21/98 2:04 PM No Frontpage - they claim it is a security issue. So all forms are supposed to be email forms now. Look at the source code and see if you can tell on your pages ok? I''m not sure what email address they would have used though. Supposedly they fixed all the forms so that they would submit to an email address? I talked with them today about sending referrals but Ken said not right now. They are not stable was the word he used so he didn''t Rodona 10/21/98 2:04 PM want to add new people right now because of this. Shary 10/21/98 2:09 PM I tried to access one of my pages but got a "not found" message. If the file is mccs.htm then the url should be http://www.webperfect4u.com/juniper/mccs.htm right? Or did you ftp my files from leadgen or lcenterprise? I'm not really sujre which pages are on the new site. Rodona 10/21/98 2:11 PM Ftp info is: ftp.webperfect4u.com rgarst g00d4u Go check it out and upload what you need to. Do you know anyone who is providing pops? Shary 10/21/98 2:12 PM I have a name from a long time ago. I'll look it up and send it to you. a guy names Dewey in Florida. Are those zeros or upper case o's in good? Rodona 10/21/98 2:15 PM zero''s Thanks!! Shary 10/21/98 2:17 PM I don't know if you got the question, but did you fax a check. I'm having problems with my mail program for the umpteenth time. Time to make a change. Rodona 10/21/98 2:17 PM Working on it right now. Doing the paperwork :-) I''ll ICQ you in a few minutes to let you know it''s faxed. Shary 10/21/98 2:19 PM No problem. Just following up because my mail (including faxes) has been a mess. I'll confirm that I get it. Thanks!!! Shary 10/21/98 2:37 PM I don't have a number for Dewey. That was so long ago. But check with Tom. He has pop3's and autoresponders. Rodona 10/21/98 2:41 PM Faxing check right now. Thanks for checking on Dewey. Wonder if there is a Huey and Lewey? :-) Shary 10/21/98 2:42 PM smart alec! I was ready for a good laugh .. thanks! Shary 10/21/98 3:04 PM Thanks. The check arrived perfectly. Except I made a "blonde" error when I figured the Delphin leads. I wrote them all down and then added them up incorrectly. There were 3 batches of 25 (N1, N2 and N5) for 75, and 2 batches of 50 (N3 and N4) for 100. 100 + 75 = 175 (not 125 which is what I told you). Want me to correct it on this check or catch it next week? If I do it now, it is $615 instead of $515. Either way is ok with me. Shary 10/21/98 3:05 PM $616 instead of $516 (I had it as 615 and 515 in the other message). Rodona 10/21/98 3:14 PM Just break me up this week :-) Rodona 10/22/98 8:00 AM Shary do you have 50 leads? Shary 10/22/98 8:14 AM Hi ... I have 40-something. I'm on my way out the door but will be back in about 3 hours. Do you have some that you could use to fill out the order? Rodona 10/22/98 8:15 AM Nope unfortunately. I used the last of mine to replace those last requests for replacements that I got. I don''t know what we are going to do for hosting - can you get those forms operational without Frontpage results pages? Shary 10/22/98 8:16 AM Yes, I'll put them on the webperfect4u site and hit it as soon as I get back. I should be able to mail enough with DM to fill an order. Rodona 10/22/98 8:44 AM Ok. I can mail as well if I can copy your page? :-) Don'' t know how to do an email submission for yet. Shary 10/22/98 10:11 AM I just got back. I'll figure it out and copy the page to your directory. Which directory do you want it in? Rodona 10/22/98 12:00 PM It doesn''t really matter which directory so long as I know which one it is. Shary 10/22/98 12:01 PM OK. I am having trouble with the email thing. I thought I knew what I was doing ... silly me. I'll get back at it after a lunch break. Rodona 10/22/98 12:01 PM I need to figure it out myself :-) Shary 10/22/98 12:02 PM If you beat me, let me know!!! Rodona 10/22/98 12:24 PM I will :-) - I think I''m going to ask the technician how much he will charge to fix the page for me :-) Shary 10/22/98 12:24 PM Please let me know if you find out. Rodona 10/22/98 12:25 PM I will do it! Rodona 10/22/98 1:23 PM Have you talked to Mike per chance? Rodona 10/22/98 1:23 PM Have you talked to Mike per chance? Shary 10/22/98 1:26 PM Yes, I talked to him last night. He said Ernie (or is it Arnie) is trying to get the 750k per day for $1800 and split it among several people for the American Capital Mailings. Mike doesn't seem sure if he will do that or not. He says he only wants one-party sites. He said they'll either be functional by tomorrow or it will be 3 to 5 weeks. Rodona 10/22/98 1:27 PM He has decided to wait I think. Is Mike willing to put us on again ya think? Or do we have to do the smtp thing as well? Are you going to do that? Shary 10/22/98 1:28 PM He won't put us on unless we do the pro accounts. I just don't have the bucks for that. I could afford the 50k per day, but need at least 500k per day :-) I want to buy champagne on a beer budget! Rodona 10/22/98 1:36 PM Yep that''s me :-) Rodona 10/22/98 1:49 PM Another order for Delphin. Drat! Shary 10/22/98 1:49 PM I will work this out somehow! Rodona 10/22/98 1:50 PM That darn tech guy has screwed up my site again! I hate not being able to do things myself! Shary 10/22/98 1:51 PM on webperfect4u? Rodona 10/22/98 3:08 PM Yep! Rodona 10/22/98 3:41 PM Another order for Delphin :-( - man when it rains it pours huh? Shary 10/22/98 3:54 PM I just got back and will get right to work. Rodona 10/22/98 3:54 PM Does your form work now? Shary 10/22/98 3:55 PM I am just getting ready to test it. Rodona 10/22/98 3:55 PM Let me know if it works ok? Shary 10/22/98 3:57 PM First try ... no go. Back to the drawing board. Rodona 10/22/98 3:57 PM Drat! Shary 10/22/98 5:11 PM BINGO!!! Finally ... whew! Give me a free email address to use for you. Rodona 10/22/98 5:23 PM Don''t have one - will have to go set one up right quick. Shary 10/22/98 5:24 PM Have you used snap yet. Super fast and easy. Rodona 10/22/98 5:24 PM Nope. Is it snap.com? Shary 10/22/98 5:25 PM www.email.com Rodona 10/22/98 5:30 PM It''s bemore@email.com Shary 10/22/98 5:31 PM OK, I'll have it in about 15 minutes. Rodona 10/22/98 5:35 PM THANK YOU!! Shary 10/22/98 5:39 PM Forward the registration letter to me at skippy1518@aol.com Shary 10/22/98 6:06 PM Tell me when you forward the letter so I can go do your page right away. Shary 10/23/98 1:44 AM I have one order complete and more leads are coming in. Did you get my ICQ about going to the mailform registration website? There are some exciting things on the horizon that will be very good for both of us. I will tell you all I can as soon as I can. I don't mean to tease you. I just want you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel! Rodona 10/23/98 7:36 AM OK, going right now! So you are saying I shouldn''t spend thousands of $''s just yet huh :-)? I know there is an AOL program that was released yesterday. I''m going to demo it today and see if it works. I''ll let you know. Rodona 10/23/98 7:42 AM It''s done! Send the one order when you can to Iamhit1998@aol.com. I''ll see if I can''t scramble to mail some this afternoon so we can get caught up again :-). I tell you these guys come in flocks when they come :-). Rodona 10/23/98 7:47 AM Shary it came back as undeliverable. Shary 10/23/98 7:56 AM Darn! What address did I give you to send it to? Yes, I'm saying don't spend 1000's yet :-) Shary 10/23/98 7:57 AM I can't believe it! I lost another AOL account! Send it to shary@takeaction.com. Rodona 10/23/98 7:58 AM The skippy one. How soon will we have a solution? Rodona 10/23/98 7:59 AM Done! Shary 10/23/98 8:00 AM Should have real news within a few days. Rodona 10/23/98 8:00 AM Cool. Webhosting to? Shary 10/23/98 8:23 AM Go to http://www.webperfect4u.com/opp/exec-r.htm, fill it out and test it. I am sending one order now and have 6 leads in the new batch. Rodona 10/23/98 8:27 AM Thanks! I can''t get the page to pull up. Are you having trouble getting to the pages at any given time? Shary 10/23/98 8:31 AM Double drat!! No wonder my leads have stopped coming in. They were coming in fast last night. I get a message "cannot connect with server". Guess I should have checked that before I even did it. But I was able to ftp just 5 minutes ago. What do you think about that? Shary 10/23/98 8:32 AM Just tried and I can still ftp. Will you check another one of your pages that you have on that site? Rodona 10/23/98 8:45 AM I can''t get to anything! I''m going to contact them right now. Rodona 10/23/98 8:48 AM Did you send the one order? Shary 10/23/98 8:49 AM No, sorry. Got distracted trying to get the page to come up. Sending now. Rodona 10/23/98 8:49 AM k - thanks! Shary 10/23/98 8:49 AM what address should I send to? Rodona 10/23/98 8:49 AM contactme@premierservices.com is fine Shary 10/23/98 8:51 AM on its way. Let me know what you find out about the site. Rodona 10/23/98 8:51 AM I''m checking into it right now. Shary 10/23/98 9:59 AM I think I'm going to set up a server here for the day to get some some mail out. I mailed 300,000 last night for Delphin, but can't get leads from them now. I'll let you know for sure, so you will know that I am going to get more leads. I want to at least fill the 3 orders you have so far. Rodona 10/23/98 10:04 AM k. How are you getting 300k into AOL? Shary 10/23/98 10:04 AM Yes, and got 90% of my seeds. Probably why I lost my AOL account. Rodona 10/23/98 10:04 AM But how? Shary 10/23/98 10:06 AM I used Stealth and set the # of recipients at 9. I started with lists of 25k, then used 100k. I only got 80% at the 100k mark, but still was very happy with that. That's the first time I've used Stealth in over a week. Rodona 10/23/98 10:08 AM You dialing in from Vegas or Phoenix? Are you using foreign or domestic servers? Shary 10/23/98 10:08 AM Phoenix with both foreign and domestic Rodona 10/23/98 10:08 AM Are you using a bunch at one time or just one at a time? And are you randomizing anything? Shary 10/23/98 10:09 AM got a phone call be back in a few Shary 10/23/98 10:48 AM go to: http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/liceladder/748/e ec-r.htm Rodona 10/23/98 10:55 AM It works! Thanks! Rodona 10/23/98 10:55 AM What are your settings with Stealth that are allowing you to get in? Shary 10/23/98 10:56 AM 19 recipients standard domain bogus reply and generic to Shary 10/23/98 10:57 AM Also pick up a Message-ID from an incoming UCE and use it. You can change it slightly. Rodona 10/23/98 10:57 AM Dialup? Shary 10/23/98 10:57 AM GTE Rodona 10/23/98 11:03 AM Do you have a server that you know is getting in? My tests get in but no mail and I''m using the exact same settings you just gave me. Shary 10/23/98 11:04 AM Try ece.twsu.edu I'm currently using it, but feel free to use it for testing to see if you can get it. Rodona 10/23/98 11:05 AM Thanks! Try these and see if they work for you: 130.101.8.8 204.254.15.33 130.227.226.84 Shary 10/23/98 11:06 AM I'll do it after the present mailing and let you know if they work. I'm flying blind right now, because I don't want to seed to my final aol account. I'm mailing without seeding and hoping for very quick results so I can tell it's working. Rodona 10/23/98 11:07 AM I seed mine one per 1000 and I have never gotten caught. Wonder why? Rodona 10/23/98 11:08 AM You know you can open Stealth multiple times and run them simultaneously? Shary 10/23/98 11:08 AM That's what I use too. And this is the third account I've lost. I guess several other people lost accounts on the same day that I lost my last one. Shary 10/23/98 11:08 AM It seems to slow it way down though, don't you think? Rodona 10/23/98 11:09 AM Not mine because I use different servers each time I open Stealth up. Shary 10/23/98 11:10 AM I'll have to give it another try. BTW, the check number you gave me this time is 2177 and that is the same number I used on the 14th for $658.00. Rodona 10/23/98 11:12 AM 2179 Shary 10/23/98 11:12 AM thanks Rodona 10/23/98 11:13 AM :-) - thank you!! Rodona 10/23/98 11:13 AM I haven''t gotten those leads yet. Thought I would let you know. Shary 10/23/98 11:15 AM I'm so disgusted with Pegasus. I will send from liveoak333@aol.com. Rodona 10/23/98 11:16 AM Send it to my Iamhit1998@aol.com account if you want. Shary 10/23/98 11:16 AM will do Rodona 10/23/98 11:29 AM Did you send? I haven''t gotten ''em yet so just checking. Shary 10/23/98 11:32 AM I was the phone with aol. Just now sent the file. Rodona 10/23/98 11:37 AM What are you calling AOL for :-)? Nosy me :-) Shary 10/23/98 11:41 AM I decided to follow up on the lost AOL acct instead of just letting it go. My intuition was good. Turns out it was due to a credit card number change, not anything to do with "misuse". Rodona 10/23/98 11:45 AM Great! Shary 10/23/98 11:46 AM Yep ... makes me very happy! Shary 10/23/98 11:49 AM I'm an idiot! I just sent 100,000 emails for Delphin with YOUR link instead of mine !!! Shary 10/23/98 11:50 AM Got seeds too. Can you believe it? Better you than a stranger :-) Rodona 10/23/98 11:52 AM Thanks!! :-) I haven''t mailed yet so perhaps we should set up another page? Rodona 10/23/98 11:52 AM Well it a nice gift :-) Shary 10/23/98 11:53 AM If you haven't started mailing yet, that would be a good idea. Thanks. Sorry for the bother. I'll need another email registration letter from you. But I will set up immediately as soon as I get the info. Should you just give me the username and password on the one you opened earlier? I am sorry. What a nuisance! Shary 10/23/98 11:54 AM I think I just because an Indian giver! Shary 10/23/98 12:02 PM You can't believe how thoroughtly silly I feel! Rodona 10/23/98 12:03 PM I''m going to set up another account right now. Where do I forward the form to? Shary 10/23/98 12:04 PM dd915@aol.com is working now Shary 10/23/98 12:05 PM Were you aksing me about pop accounts recently? I just got an email from someone who offers them. Call OnlineDirectMail at 513 874 7437 We can also Provide bullet pop 3 email acounts! CALL TODAY! Shary 10/23/98 12:38 PM I'm adding YOUR page to the website now. Rodona 10/23/98 12:39 PM ok. Thanks! Shary 10/23/98 12:40 PM I'll send the url as soon as I finish. Shary 10/23/98 12:44 PM http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/liceladder/748/e ec-r2.htm I sent a test message and it registered at this end. You just need to check your mailbox and make sure it made it. Shary 10/23/98 3:18 PM r u there? Rodona 10/23/98 3:19 PM Barely :-) Shary 10/23/98 3:19 PM Hang on a sec, please ... brb Shary 10/23/98 3:19 PM forrest dayton came out with a program that looks like geolist - do you have it or know the name of it and can you get a demo of it - it is called hurricane or something like that Rodona 10/23/98 3:20 PM I have it and will send you a demo if you like? Shary 10/23/98 3:20 PM Yes, please! What is it called? Rodona 10/23/98 3:21 PM GeoSnake and there is another one called Hurricane that works like Sonic. Shary 10/23/98 3:21 PM Thank you! Shary 10/23/98 3:22 PM Is there also a url to go to to see what all he has? Are you a reseller for him? Rodona 10/23/98 3:23 PM Yes, I''m a reseller. No url though. Or not that I know of. He keeps a very low profile. Shary 10/23/98 3:24 PM Thanks. Would you send demo to dd915? I really appreciate it. Just GeoSnake. Rodona 10/23/98 3:24 PM I''m sending ICQ. Is that ok? Shary 10/23/98 3:25 PM Perfect, thank you! Shary 10/23/98 3:28 PM Thank you! Rodona 10/23/98 3:28 PM Your welcome :-) Shary 10/23/98 3:32 PM Oooohhh, I've got 25 "mailform feedbacks" in my mailbox. I hope they aren't all from the same person :-) Rodona 10/23/98 3:32 PM Me to!! Shary 10/23/98 3:33 PM As soon as I have 50, I'll send them to Iamhit1998. Rodona 10/23/98 3:33 PM THANKS!! Rodona 10/23/98 3:56 PM Website is timing out before it can connect on AOL''s browser. Netscape pulls it up fine. See if that happens to you ok? Shary 10/23/98 3:57 PM ok, just a sec. BTW, I have 36 leads so far. Rodona 10/23/98 3:57 PM You go girl :-)!! Shary 10/23/98 3:59 PM Came right up for me. But AOL seems to be squirrely today. Rodona 10/23/98 3:59 PM Perhaps it''s my connection as well. Rodona 10/23/98 4:00 PM bemore@email.com tmg1 is the password. Shary 10/23/98 4:00 PM thanks Rodona 10/23/98 4:05 PM I''m finally getting into AOL!! YIPPEE!! Shary 10/23/98 4:16 PM What are you doing differently? Rodona 10/23/98 4:16 PM Using a valid from field. Shary 10/23/98 4:16 PM fascinating. One little thing can make a huge difference. Rodona 10/23/98 4:17 PM Yep. Are you using a "real" from or a made up one? Shary 10/23/98 4:17 PM made up Rodona 10/23/98 4:17 PM I tried both ways with all the same info and only the one with a valid from got in with all seeds. The other one - nothing. Shary 10/23/98 4:18 PM Are you using one of your freebies for the from? Rodona 10/23/98 4:18 PM Wonder why it works for some and not others? What kind of domains are you using for the made up from''s? Perhaps that is the reason? Rodona 10/23/98 4:18 PM Yes. Shary 10/23/98 4:18 PM real domains: msn.com, earthlink.net, psinet.com, gte.net Rodona 10/23/98 4:19 PM I''m going to try one of those and see if it works. Shary 10/23/98 4:19 PM let me know Rodona 10/23/98 4:19 PM k Shary 10/23/98 4:53 PM Just sent one order to Iamhit Rodona 10/23/98 4:54 PM Yes, I got it - thanks!! Shary 10/23/98 4:55 PM I can't unzip GeoSnake. I get a message that says TL313INJ.DLL was not found. Shary 10/23/98 4:56 PM Can you send me that file? Also tell me what directory yours is in. Muchas gracias. Shary 10/23/98 5:18 PM If you get a chance, send me that file. Andy needs it and it has a lot to do with our "future". :-) Rodona 10/23/98 5:19 PM ok, hang tight. I have another one that might do the trick. I can''t remember which one is the right one. If this doesn''t work I''ll get one direct. Shary 10/23/98 5:19 PM Thanks. Shary 10/23/98 5:22 PM I don't know how tight you might be with Forest, but Andy just needs to look at the program. He isn't trying to crack it. Rodona 10/23/98 5:23 PM No problem Shary 10/23/98 5:24 PM Thanks. Shary 10/23/98 7:37 PM I have 23 leads so far in case that helps with what you have. Shary 10/23/98 8:29 PM I LOVE IT !!! Thanks! Shary 10/26/98 1:13 PM Do you need any more Delphin orders? I have one full order plus about 15 leads. Rodona 10/26/98 1:41 PM Not yet but hopefully soon. I''m calling some folks that had 1/2 orders this morning to see if they are ready for their next 1/2. I mailed only general internet addresses so we wouldn''t get confused on replacements. I REALLY appreciate your help Shary. You don''t know how much :-)!! Shary 10/26/98 1:47 PM Hey, I appreciate the business! Rodona 10/26/98 1:48 PM I have got to find some hosting somewhere fast or I''m going to be out of business :-) Shary 10/26/98 1:49 PM Is webperfect4u kaput? I'm happy the fortunecity site is still up! At least it was earlier this morning. Rodona 10/26/98 1:51 PM It''s not now!! I checked earlier - around 10:00 my time and it was down. Webperfect4u is the biggest problem child ever! I get a no dns error message now. I have already reported it to the tech guy so who knows? I can''t rely on it so it'' useless. NIC is almost ready so that''s a possibility really soon. But Unix servers again not NT so Frontpage is useless short term. I think they are going to install Frontpage for Unix soon but not Rodona 10/26/98 1:51 PM it''s not an immediate priority. Drat! Rodona 10/26/98 1:52 PM Is your site still up? Mine isn''t but yours might still be? Shary 10/26/98 1:57 PM just a sec, I'll check Shary 10/26/98 1:58 PM Nope, all gone. That's the problem with freebies. They are SO temporary. Rodona 10/26/98 1:58 PM You said it! Who is fortunecity? Shary 10/26/98 2:00 PM www.fortunecity.com That's where I had our Delphin sites. It is very easy to set up a website and it is FREE but as soon as they find out you're spamming, they cut you off in a heartbeat. It is usually good from Friday afternoon till Monday morning. Rodona 10/26/98 2:01 PM I''ll have to remember that :-). Do they have frontpage? Shary 10/26/98 2:02 PM No, that's why I had to use email instead of the web results page, but I still do my page with Front Page and then upload it using the "file manager" option in Fortune City. Rodona 10/26/98 2:03 PM I have to figure out the email version. How do you do that with Frontpage? Does it have to be connected to the cgi bin or anything? Shary 10/26/98 2:08 PM You have done forms in Front Page, right? Rodona 10/26/98 2:09 PM One :-) Shary 10/26/98 2:13 PM That Mailform Registration page I sent you to takes care of the cgi. Remember the Submit Button? I will tell you how to set it up. Rodona 10/26/98 2:14 PM Ok. I have the cgi part but how to do the submit button? Shary 10/26/98 2:14 PM Are you in Front Page now? Rodona 10/26/98 2:14 PM No but I''ll get that way. Rodona 10/26/98 2:15 PM Do I need to open the page that I want to work on? Shary 10/26/98 2:15 PM Yes, that would be best. Does it have a form on it now? Rodona 10/26/98 2:16 PM Yes and I have it pulled up. Shary 10/26/98 2:16 PM OK, double click on the submit button. Rodona 10/26/98 2:16 PM ok I have it. Shary 10/26/98 2:17 PM I have both "Name" and "Value" as submit but you can do it however you want. Then click on "Form". Rodona 10/26/98 2:17 PM ok I''m there. Shary 10/26/98 2:17 PM Select "Send to other" and it will show "Custom ISAPI, etc" . Rodona 10/26/98 2:18 PM Yes, that''s what it is saying now. Shary 10/26/98 2:18 PM Click on "options" and put the following in the "Action" bar. http://www.coder.com/code/mailform/mailform.pl cgi Shary 10/26/98 2:19 PM "Method" should say POST. Click OK> Rodona 10/26/98 2:19 PM Ok Shary 10/26/98 2:19 PM You should be back at "Form Properties". Click "Advanced" Rodona 10/26/98 2:20 PM ok Shary 10/26/98 2:20 PM This is where you need the info from "Mailform Registration" using the free email you want the replies to go to. Just a sec and I'll give you the basic info. Rodona 10/26/98 2:21 PM Got it!! Thanks!! Shary 10/26/98 2:21 PM There is only one little piece of info you need from the registration letter. It is the first 3 letters of the name you used, then an underscore, then some letters and numbers. More coming. Rodona 10/26/98 2:22 PM What does it look like so I''ll know? Shary 10/26/98 2:23 PM Example: Mar_56d2 After you click "Advanced", click "Add". For "Name" put MAILFORM_ID and for "Value" put the code from the letter. Shary 10/26/98 2:25 PM Click OK, then click "Add" again. This time for "Name" put MAILFORM_SUBJECT and for "Value" put Mailform Feedback. Then click OK all the way out. Try it and then test it. If it doesn't work, we'll go back through it. Shary 10/26/98 2:27 PM Put the file I am sending in your Front Page directory. It is an example of how to do the submit info for sending replies to email. Rodona 10/27/98 3:08 PM Shary I bit the bullet today and set up a pro account with Mike. Can''t wait any longer to get some hosting. It''s killing me. What''s up on your end? I also have another deal that just came through late this afternoon. Cost will be $200.00/month but I haven''t tried ''em yet. I think I''m going to set up an account with them as well. New to this business but they are willing to give it a go. Connections in foreign countries as well. Shary 10/27/98 3:43 PM Ouch. Which account with Mike? Let me know how it works. It sounds like a mailing dream. Mike said once you hit the send button, you don't even have to stay online. Also, please keep me posted on the other one you mentioned. I have been sick all day so haven't done much of anything. Still waiting for more info on the deal I mentioned to you the other day. Rodona 10/27/98 3:45 PM I went for the $1800.00/month. I''m going to try to generate some more mailing business to cover the cost and do my primary stuff around that. Other deal could be pretty good. I''m reserving judgment until I''ve tested ''em out. I''ll have my domain up with them tommorrow so we''ll see. Keep me informed about the other "secret" stuff :-) - I may have a present or two for you shortly. Do you have Mailpusher? Citystripper? Would yo Shary 10/27/98 3:47 PM No, I don't. I hate waiting all the time, don't you? I want it NOW! Have you used the pro account yet? Do you get a million a day? Rodona 10/27/98 3:48 PM I haven''t used it yet. He will have to build us a box - dedicated server which is pretty cool. We are limited to 750k to 1 million a day. Alot of mail that''s for sure! Shary 10/27/98 3:49 PM It should easily pay for itself as long as everything works the way it is supposed to. Rodona 10/27/98 3:49 PM I''ll send over the cracks for those programs in a bit. Getting them from someone who cracked the programs this afternoon. Rodona 10/27/98 3:49 PM Yeah, IF things work out :-) Shary 10/27/98 3:49 PM That's fantastic. Thanks. Have you used Mail Pusher? Rodona 10/27/98 3:50 PM Yes, it''s slow but effective. You can turn it on and just leave it. If you get disconnected it will reconnect you and continue mailing. Have to have servers to use though. You can randomize virtually everything with it. Shary 10/27/98 3:51 PM Sounds interesting. I can't get out with Stealth today so am mailing with DM. It's slow too. Rodona 10/27/98 3:53 PM hmmm...I''ve been mailing all day with Stealth - 10k at a time which is slow but it gets in. Shary 10/27/98 3:54 PM I tried 25k. Maybe I should retry with 10. Rodona 10/27/98 3:55 PM 10k has worked all day for me so give it a try. It appears to pile up the mail and then let''s it in for some reason. Seems like all my seeds come in at one time. Very weird. Shary 10/27/98 3:56 PM Thanks. Rodona 10/28/98 12:24 PM What batch setting are you using to get into AOL today? Notice I said today :-)? Shary 10/28/98 12:26 PM I haven't mailed yet today. I'll be setting it up after lunch. Have you used Mike's yet? Rodona 10/28/98 12:27 PM No he has to build me a server first - at the $1800 level you have your own box. Hopefully by Friday. Shary 10/28/98 12:28 PM I forgot that. I'll let you know how it goes as soon as I start mailing. Had to use DM yesterday and even that fizzled out by evening. Rodona 10/28/98 12:28 PM AOL is a pain in the putut no doubt about it. Shary 10/28/98 12:29 PM You're right about that. Shary 10/28/98 2:23 PM This is cute. A tad bit risque'. http://www.ohmygoodness.com/Cards/Animated/hal oween-flasher.gif Rodona 10/28/98 2:47 PM What a hooter :-)! THANKS! Shary 10/28/98 2:49 PM One of my cats loves the ghosts you sent me. He can watch for several minutes at a time. Pretty cute! He wasn't so interested in Mr. Bones. Rodona 10/28/98 2:50 PM That is pretty cute :-) Shary 10/28/98 2:52 PM I have 2 cats and we just made the decision yesterday that they are going to Las Vegas with me. I would have missed them so much! Rodona 10/28/98 2:53 PM David is going to miss them :-)!! Shary 10/28/98 2:54 PM Yes, he really will. But it is best for them to keep the two together, or we could have each had one. I think David will get a dog. He loves the cats and enjoys them as much as I do, but he is really a dog person. Do you have any pets ... besides your little guys? Rodona 10/28/98 2:56 PM One poodle - he has been a part of the family for 13 years now. Getting old :-( Shary 10/28/98 2:58 PM Miniature? Rodona 10/28/98 3:00 PM Toy Shary 10/28/98 3:01 PM It's always so hard to watch them get old, especially if their health starts to decline. Rodona 10/28/98 3:02 PM Yes, it is. So far he gets around pretty good but you can tell he is feeling his age. Shary 10/28/98 3:03 PM I can relate!!! Rodona 10/29/98 12:38 PM Shary got a minute to talk about this new stuff that is coming? I just talked to someone about something that sounds very interesting but he mentioned Andy so I''m curious to see if it''s the same stuff? Rodona 10/29/98 1:49 PM Check is faxed. Shary 10/29/98 1:49 PM Thanks. I'm just sending the order. I took a lunch break with David. Rodona 10/29/98 1:50 PM That sounds wonderful :-) Joseph has been working ALOT this week so lunch''s haven''t been forthcoming. Getting together is sometimes hard to do around here. Shary 10/29/98 1:51 PM We always try to eat lunch and dinner together. Sometimes it's a nuisance when I would rather be working, but I'll probably miss it when I'm in Vegas. Rodona 10/29/98 1:52 PM You can really get wrapped up in this business can''t you? Sometimes I wonder where my priorities are :-) Shary 10/29/98 1:52 PM I go through that too. BTW the check got here. Thanks. Rodona 10/29/98 1:53 PM Thank you!! Rodona 10/29/98 1:53 PM Would you mind telling me how you set up your fortunecity.com page? I may need to do that over the weekend. Shary 10/29/98 1:55 PM Have you been to the fortunecity site yet? They give you three ways to set up your page. I selected "file upload" and it was a breeze. I'd be happy to help. And I'll be on line till late tomorrow. Rodona 10/29/98 1:55 PM Do you have a form that works though? I don''t have that one I don''t think. But perhaps I could figure it out using the method you taught me the other day with Frontpage. Rodona 10/29/98 1:56 PM Does AOL have new filters today? I was getting in earlier but nothing now. Gotta figure out what they are up to all over again. I hate this weekly thing :-) Shary 10/29/98 1:57 PM That is what I did. I tried to send you a sample Front Page file that has a form set up for email using the mailform code. I don't think you got it though. I'll send it to Iamhit but you will need to download it to your Front Page directory. And anything I can do to help ... just let me know. Shary 10/29/98 1:58 PM I do it. I've been getting in with DM today, using a backup server and settings of 10/10. Rodona 10/29/98 1:59 PM Stealth at all? Thanks for the Frontpage form :-)!! Shary 10/29/98 2:00 PM Nothing at all with Stealth! Rodona 10/29/98 2:00 PM I have been using Stealth all week and getting in lickty split. Wonder why it works sometimes and not others? Shary 10/29/98 2:01 PM I don't know. I think the "enemy" wants to drive us all crazy as a way to get rid of us. Rodona 10/29/98 2:01 PM I''m sure :-)!! Rodona 10/29/98 2:07 PM Finally the seeds are coming in! Hours later. I just don''t get AOL at all :-) Rodona 11/3/98 8:48 AM Shary are ya there? Shary 11/3/98 8:51 AM Hi ... I just sent you a letter! about 30 seconds ago! Rodona 11/3/98 8:52 AM I''m sooo glad to hear from you. I really missed chatting via ICQ with you and I had no one to ask what they thought about this and that, primarily that new software Andy has on the market :-) Rodona 11/3/98 8:52 AM How was your move in? Shary 11/3/98 8:52 AM I think it will be our lifesaver! And there is more to come. He probably told you yesterday about some of the other programs we will have. Rodona 11/3/98 8:53 AM Yes it sounds great! Shary 11/3/98 8:54 AM It was fun. I have never been on my own before. I went from home to college to marriage to marriage. Spent 3 months in an apartment between mariage #2 and David but was with him most of the time and didn't really experience being on my own. Rodona 11/3/98 8:54 AM How was your move and what is your apartment like, etc? Rodona 11/3/98 8:55 AM Is this a new experience or what? Just imagine...you will be solely responsible only for yourself :-) - you can do what you want when you want. I think I''m jealous :-) Shary 11/3/98 8:55 AM It's just a small one bedroom apartment and I brought my two cats with me. My bed is an air mattress and my living room "furniture" is a six foot table for the computers and a small table for the printers. Rodona 11/3/98 8:56 AM You can probably find some "throwaway" furniture at a thrift shop to make do with while you are there. Shary 11/3/98 8:57 AM I can eat when I want, sleep when I want, and run around naked if I want!! felt very strange and a little lonely, but I think I am going to enjoy this a lot. Nothing is perfect and I feel sad for David because he is VERY lonely ... he doesn't even have the cats ... but I think this is a good move for me. Rodona 11/3/98 8:59 AM I can imagine - lots of feelings around the move but hopefully it will be a good move for you. Give you a chance to feel your wings a bit if nothing else :-). Are you going to get to meet Andy, Charlie and Bill while you are there? If you ever need anything I have a really good friend out there that would be happy to help you out if you need anything ok? Shary 11/3/98 8:59 AM I'm not even in a rush for furniture. It feels like home already. I have a small dresser for my clothers and a small cabinet for a 25-year-old microwave that a friend gave me. I keep all my files and papers in that cabinet. The place looks like me already with little knickknacks here and there and pictures on the walls. I love it. Rodona 11/3/98 9:00 AM There ya go :-) As long as you are happy and feel at home then that''s all that matters. Rodona 11/3/98 9:00 AM How many phone lines do you have so far? Shary 11/3/98 9:01 AM I can only get 2 lines. That is the biggest negative. But I can deal with it temporarily. I'll get cable for Geozilla so that will keep the 3rd computer busy. I've met Andy before but not Bill or Charlie. I certainly would like to meet them too. Rodona 11/3/98 9:02 AM Yes, you definitely need a computer for GeoZilla :-) - you almost need two of ''em. Rodona 11/3/98 9:04 AM Are you going to try and market Geozilla? I was under the impression that he wasn''t going to sell many of them. Shary 11/3/98 9:05 AM I left two computers in Phoenix. One is on vacation and the other is on cable modem with Name Grabber going all the time. David will forward the files to me every day or two. I will put Geozilla on that one when I go back to Phoenix for a long weekend on the 19th. Shary 11/3/98 9:07 AM He does not want us to bulk it but I can sell it on a one-to-one basis. It is my understanding that he is only going to have Neil, Charlie and myself as resellers on this one ... but things change and I've been out of the loop for a few days. If that is the case, would you like to work with my on a referral basis? I would split my commissions with you on anyone you referred. Rodona 11/3/98 9:16 AM Hold on - on the phone with Delphin folks. Shary 11/3/98 9:17 AM ok Rodona 11/3/98 9:47 AM Shary I don''t have Aspen but I do have Luna. Do you have webhosting for Delphin page or do you need a site? Shary 11/3/98 9:48 AM I was going to do a freebie but I lose them so fast. Do you have an alternative? Rodona 11/3/98 10:25 AM Yep :-) - finally. FTP info is 207.193.244.249 rodana - user name clarksville - password Remote Directory: honsho/inetpub/wwwroot/wpo Rodona 11/3/98 10:26 AM Sorry it took me so long but I have been on phone all morning with Delphin folks. Some screaming and some say the leads are great. Lots of replacements this week and it is driving me insane! I am formulating a new website that will better qualify the leads I hope :-) and cut the replacements down considerably. I had one lady this morning with 25 replacement requests out of 100 leads!! Shary 11/3/98 10:28 AM Thanks a bunch! I'll put up the Delphin page and get at it. Let me know what changes you are making in your Delphin site. I'll do the same if it gives us better leads. Rodona 11/3/98 10:39 AM k. I''m going to work on it today and will need to get final approval from them. Shary 11/3/98 10:47 AM Should I hold off then or go ahead and mail for replacements? Rodona 11/3/98 10:48 AM No mail for replacements :-) before they shoot me :-) - I''m going to set up a site and mail as well so I will have a few to "give away" as goodwill measures :-) Shary 11/3/98 10:52 AM OK. I'll get them to you ASAP. Rodona 11/3/98 10:52 AM THANKS as always :-)! Rodona 11/5/98 8:01 AM How are things today? Shary 11/5/98 8:03 AM Got a good night's sleep and just now turned on the computers. It's 7:00 here. I think it's going to be a good day! Rodona 11/5/98 8:03 AM :-) - great outlook !! I have a question or two for you if you are up to it? Shary 11/5/98 8:04 AM Sure ... go for it. Rodona 11/5/98 8:05 AM How much mail do you send to generate 200 to 300 leads a day for Andy :-)?? I went over to the results page and my measly 14 looked silly compared to your''s and Cristin''s results :-) - trying to guage how much time I need to devote to my projects. Shary 11/5/98 8:09 AM I have gotten as many as 35 leads per 100k and as few as 20. Usually closer to 30. Remember it takes a couple of days sometimes. I expect you'll be giving us all a run for the money pretty quick. Have you used Mike's web-based mailer yet? I'm still considering it. Rodona 11/5/98 8:11 AM I was just astonished :-) You go girl !! I got access to it last night but couldn''t pop my email box so I was afraid to mail due to not being able to collect the undeliverables right away. He has already warned me about that :-). Rodona 11/5/98 8:12 AM I have to get these Delfin folks off my back and then I''ll have time to breath. Shary 11/5/98 8:16 AM I should be helping with that pretty quick. I'm going to start testing those Russian servers in about 5 minutes and as soon as I get 2 or 3 I will do a quickie 100k for Delphin. Rodona 11/5/98 8:18 AM You are a God send :-)!! I had a total of 55 replacements - can you believe that!! I''m so livid I could scream. We went round and round but in order to keep them I''m going to have to do it ya know? Drat, drat, drat!! Some new strategies in the works that will be ready this afternoon. I''ll share that with you when it''s ready and the $''s for certain types of leads will pay out higher than the $2.00 that you are getting now :-) Rodona 11/5/98 8:19 AM I''m doing the UK right now. Set up Geozilla to pull obscure countries and test them for servers :-) Rodona 11/5/98 8:20 AM How long does it take you to send 100k? Shary 11/5/98 8:44 AM What is your phone number? Andy wants it again Shary 11/5/98 8:44 AM Andy and I are going to call you. Rodona 11/5/98 8:51 AM It''s 931-431-9984 Shary 11/5/98 8:52 AM calling now Rodona 11/5/98 8:52 AM Can you wait just a minute? I have a client I need to chat with briefly. Shary 11/5/98 8:53 AM don't worry about a thing .... andy just wants to cuss you out he told me to say that Shary 11/5/98 8:53 AM let me know when your ready Rodona 11/5/98 8:53 AM :-) - uhuh - what did I do? Rodona 11/5/98 8:53 AM k Shary 11/5/98 8:54 AM i don't have a clue he'll tell you Rodona 11/5/98 8:54 AM k Rodona 11/5/98 8:54 AM I''m ready to be cussed out - I think :-) Rodona 11/6/98 7:37 PM How are things going now? Any luck? Shary 11/6/98 7:38 PM I just put my dinner on a plate. Will you be around for another 15 minutes or sao? Rodona 11/6/98 7:38 PM Yep. I''m back to the drawing board and hoping that something will work :-) Shary 11/6/98 7:39 PM OK. I'll be back in a few. Rodona 11/6/98 7:39 PM Have a good dinner :-) Rodona 11/7/98 10:06 AM Any luck this morning? I may have discovered something but I''m not sure how good it is. Shary 11/7/98 10:07 AM I was just thinking about you. I'm trying Diffondi, the shareware program from Italy. I have three servers that tested ok, but am now setting up a mailing to see if they are really any good. Rodona 11/7/98 10:09 AM Try this...use a bogus from field at at the name of the domain you are mailing through. Works like a charm - I have tried it with three different servers this morning and got all my seeds. The problem with this is that AOL will get all the bounced mail but I guess they do this anyway when we use bogus from fields, huh? :-) Shary 11/7/98 10:11 AM Just for "from", not for "generic to" or "reply to", right? I'm using GTE as dial up so I would use a "from" address of ghiedl@gte.net, is that it? Shary 11/7/98 10:25 AM Girl, you may be on to something! Rodona 11/7/98 10:49 AM Let me know if it works for you ok? Shary 11/7/98 10:51 AM So far it is so strange I don't know what's happening. I set up a mailing and actually used my travel letter, gte from address, and a list of 5000 seeded every 50. I got seeds that wouldn't stop. I set it up again and didn't change anything except the mailing list. I used a list of 10k seeded every thousand and got zilch. What on earth? Going to try again. Rodona 11/7/98 10:52 AM I''m having the same trouble! What worked 10 minutes ago isn''t working now!! Shary 11/7/98 10:52 AM Did you go to pay site? I guess the little bit I got out night before last paid off, plus I'm still getting trickle from a good mailing that I did days ago. That's going to run out pretty quick. I hope this idea works and I love you for sharing it with me. Rodona 11/7/98 10:53 AM I haven''t been yet because I didn''t want to feel that humilitation :-) Shary 11/7/98 10:54 AM Take a deep breath and read the good news instead of looking at the numbers. Rodona 11/7/98 10:56 AM I''ll go check it out. Rodona 11/7/98 11:01 AM Ok, I''m ready for the bulkless mailing :-) - aren''t you!!?? Andy has a wonderful sense of humor :-)!! You tell him I''m not a quitter and I will get triple digits if it kills me atrying :-) Shary 11/7/98 11:02 AM Andy is on the phone and he says he never implied that you were a quitter. He has every confidence in you. Of course, I've been telling him for months how terrific you are! Rodona 11/7/98 11:03 AM Oh, I didn''t take it like that!! I just want him to know I''m going to keep at it :-)!! Rodona 11/7/98 11:03 AM I''m going to try a "real" email address and see if that works. Shary 11/7/98 11:03 AM He wants to know if you want one of those thingies monday. Rodona 11/7/98 11:04 AM YOU BETCHA!! Shary 11/7/98 11:04 AM He laughed and said "she's got it!" Rodona 11/7/98 11:05 AM I have to get into triple digits :-) Shary 11/7/98 11:07 AM Andy says since you're a "rookie", he'll accept triple digits for the week from you :-) Rodona 11/7/98 11:11 AM Are we restricted to strictly AOL? Shary 11/7/98 11:12 AM Andy says do whatever it takes to get out of double digits -- no restrictions. Rodona 11/7/98 11:13 AM VERY COOL!! YIPPEE!! Rodona 11/7/98 11:20 AM Wellllll, I have the secret to AOL and unfortunately there is not much we can do about it!! Rodona 11/7/98 11:22 AM What is your phone #? I''ll give you a quick call and explain what I found out. Shary 11/7/98 11:23 AM I'm on phone with Andy. We're calliong yopu now. Rodona 11/7/98 11:23 AM k Rodona 11/8/98 4:42 PM Shary, Andy sent me a message saying go download them and I have about 3 hours to get him the codes but he didn''t tell me where :-)!! Where do we download from? Shary 11/8/98 4:43 PM I don't know and I haven't heard from him. Did he just now send it? Rodona 11/8/98 4:43 PM Yes, about five minutes ago. Shary 11/8/98 4:43 PM by email? email him right back. Shary 11/8/98 4:44 PM I'm checking my email now. Rodona 11/8/98 4:44 PM I did so we''ll see what he says :-) but I thought you might know. I''m just over anxious I suppose :-) Rodona 11/8/98 4:44 PM k Shary 11/8/98 4:44 PM He is on aol with the hnhpc98 address right now. He hasn't sent me anything yet. Shary 11/8/98 4:45 PM I have a question about non-aol mailing. Can we get into compuserve, prodigy and other major domains? Rodona 11/8/98 4:47 PM You can get into all isp''s I think. Compuserve has incoming batch settings just like AOL but I''m not sure what they are. The only concern is even with strippers that the undeliverables have a "real" address to bounce back to or they will find your REAL dialup. Many "real" isp''s have their servers set to reflect this now :-( Shary 11/8/98 4:47 PM I can just get a freebie account for the undeliverables can't I? Do I use it as the from or the reply to or both? Shary 11/8/98 4:56 PM Did you hear from Andy yet? Rodona 11/8/98 4:57 PM I just use it as a from with no reply to. Most "free" accounts have size limitations though so you will have to send small amounts to each using one free account. Shary 11/8/98 4:58 PM OK, thanks. I haven't done any non-aol mailing for so long. And I'll check my freebie often to pick up the undeliverables. Rodona 11/8/98 4:58 PM Yes, just got off phone with him. He is going to take a quick nap before he leaves. Program for mailing won''t be ready until tommorrow around noon :-( but he guarantees that it will work like a charm :-)!! He will be back mid afternoon sometime and will distribute them then. I had asked him about geozilla and that''s what he was referring to :-) Rodona 11/8/98 4:59 PM That should cover you then. Shary 11/8/98 5:00 PM Thanks. Are you saying he was talking about Geozilla when he said you could go download it? Rodona 11/8/98 5:00 PM Yes. I had two people interested and he thought they needed the program. I have already sent it to them. I don''t think they will buy though because it''s to expensive for their blood :-) Shary 11/8/98 5:03 PM I sure do like it. I had it working all night. Such a nice feeling. Thanks for the advice on non-aol mailing. I am so anxious for that mailing program!!! But at least I can mail some non-aol in the meantime. How are you doing today? Shary 11/8/98 5:14 PM Do you know the pop for usa.net? I think I can set up a Snap account and then have several usa.net accounts that can all be picked up at the Snap account. But I don't remember the pop. If I figure it out, I will tell you how I did it :-)
