I am the email victim of the day…
After I came back this afternoon from a meeting, I looked into my mailbox and got angry! Some low-life started to send a bulk attack to any letter combination @ tradebit.com. That busted our daily quota of 10,000 mails (a daily quota i thought I will never reach) and now our standard company account with runbox is blocked. No business email to tradebit today! That REALLY makes me angry and I wonder, what to do. Runbox is hopefully resetting the quota soon. If you urgently need to reach me, use the info[at]url-services[dot]de account of the company.
If you mailed me today and you wonder, where the answer is: maybe lost due to this attack!
The download codes went out as normal, these emails take another route. The only victim today is ME!

note: i know, a catch-all is not a good idea, but it was such a convenient way to seperate mails internally

Lieber Ralf,
ich plane, demnächst, meine Mathe video clips als downloads (flash or Quicktime …) zum Preis von
4,99$ anzubieten.
Vorschlag: Multimedia-Autoren möchten schon seit langem die Micropayment Option von Paypal
nutzen. Gegenwärtig ist das nur für US-residents möglich.
Heute bekam ich eine email von payloadz, daß dieser provider solche payments vorsieht.
Wie wäre es, wenn tradebit diese ultimative Lösung (ggf. über einen US-intermediary) anbietet.
Ich hätte ggf. Interesse als Pilotprojekt-Autor.
Zitat:
On August 31st, 2005, PayPal announced new Micropayments rate of 5% + $0.05 per transaction.
The rate is available now, to U.S. merchants who sell digital content to U.S. customers, when PayPal is the sole payment solution offered to customers for micropayments transactions.

hi fridemar,
lets keep it english… if you are an american merchant, you can also use tradebit with these fees. The Tradebit Inc. is selling music with that setup of the micropayments.
How many clips do you have? Could you directly mail me? Maybe we can set something up!

hi ralf,
just sent you an email. I hope that the email-bombers are away and my email has reached you.
As most of the communication can be done as open correspondence via blogs, forums and wikis
I suggest to offer a wiki too. Wiki communities practice “SoftSecurity”. Although everybody can
change nearly anything, vandalism isn’t much a problem due to versioning, rollback, flushcontrol and the interest of many constructive and friendly wikizens who can easily restore lost content.
In a mailbombing situation all the burden lies on one owner of the mailaddress wheras in the wiki case a lot of people can better defend. Look at the growth of Wikipedia.
We need a TradeWiki for Tradebit. (You know the Bluetrain Manifesto: The future of commerce is online conversation..)

PS.: Did my email reach you?
