New product information isn't generally considered spam.
However it would be good if you could provide some reasons why we'd want to
evaluate your product i.e. how it's better than Microsoft's.

Had you been honest and crossposted instead of multi-posting this
spam to so many places, yes it is spam, to every group in the
world that has firewall, spy, mal, microsoft, etc etc etc (looks
like about 20 places altogether) you could think of, I might be
more sympathetic. This makes the fifth time I've come across it.
LEARN TO CROSSPOST! AND TO SET FOLLOWUPS!
Your obvious covereage or so many groups makes this
clearly -spam- and as such a reportable action. You also have no
verifiable internet presence history which makes things look all
that much more spammy for you.

I apologize for breaking the rules regarding posting. I am fairly new
to newsgroups, and do not know how to crosspost or set up follow-ups
yet.

Yes, I posted this in newsgroups that I thought would touch on security
issues, because I thought it could be of interest to people who would
frequent these groups.

We are a growing company and have allocated much of our resources on
product development and customer support. I do not have the budget to
buy ads or fly around the world to shake hands. This was simply an
attempt to inform of a new product release to the people who might
actually have an interest in it.

I have no verifiable history, as I just set up this account yesterday.

Again, I am sorry for not posting this message in an appropriate
manner.

If you're running your outfit like you're running your marketing
campaign, you're in big trouble. LEARN WHAT YOU'RE DOING BEFORE
YOU DO IT! You should first have been posting around for help in
how to use the newsgroups! I'll bet you've been sending
unsolicited mails to other people and places that either aren't
asking for it, don't want it, or have a posted notice on sending
them mails, which you haven't checked out, right? That practice
will land you on a lot of black lists and your ISP will pull your
account if they get too many complaints; it depends on the ISP.
No decent, reliable ISP will allow you to spam.

Actually we aren't doing any of what you describe. I posted what I
thought was a relevant product announcement in a handful of security
related newsgroups. My comment "Sorry for the spam" was meant as a
courtesy to people in the group that would not be interested. Much like
the OT disclaimer I have noticed in some groups.

The truth is we have focused most of our time and resources on product
development and customer support. Perhaps you prefer companies that put
out mediocre, unsupported products but are slick at marketing them.

I really can't see how my post should result in our being put on a
blacklist and our ISP pulling our account.

Call me crazy... But, I'm going to give them a fair shot on one of my
Virtual Machines. I'll report back on whether I think the program is
worthwhile or not, IMHO.

Cut the guy some slack, he apologized, admitted he didn't know how to do it,
and I'm just betting that if you have enough time on your hands to reply to
him twice that you weren't really affected by taking the time to read his
original post. In other words, don't be a dick!

Since I saw his posting on several other newsgroups, each singly
posted, and each identical, I find his posting to have been spam.
I don't like spam. Had I felt he impacted me other than by
irritation when he kept popping up in other places, I was
impacted, and it made him eligible to spam complaints. But I
didn't. Instead I pointed out some of his observable problems
and even provided a shoulda list.
If you don't like what I said, don't read it.
