It does, because as all good opt-in list management systems should, it
puts personalized unsubscribe information at the bottom of each email.

So you spammed people who had to pay cash money to receive your
messages.

Not only do I get the point, AT&T gets the point, too.  You criminally
accessed their network.

And what has that got to do with the price of spam in the supermarket?

Keep doing what you've been doing and you'll be shutting down completely
before next month.

We're sorry to see you go, we're sorry to see you go...
We hope the heck you never come back...
We're sorry to see you go.

It's besides the point everywhere.  Please move your machine to our data
center.  We'll be happy to turn off your connection at the first sign of
spamming, and we'll be happy to sell your machine off for statutory
damages allowed under California law.

My advice would be to trade in your machine for a good lawyer; you're in
California!  Which has good laws against people like you.
