[sustran] Re: Anti Spam restrictions from VSNL

Dear Shri Tiwari,

Your directions to restrict a single message to maximum 15 addresses appears
to be not only unusual but illegal.  How can you decide on the no. of
recipients when many of your clients are accustomed to  discuss with many
parties on the same subject at the same time..   For instance, I am involved
in UNDP programme where I am supposed to reach out to many more.  We are
subscribing to networks where the membership of each of them exceeds a 100.
We wish you had understood that such bureaucratic decisions are against the
VSNL interest..   You are cutting down world class services.

And what advantage will your users derive from such restriction.  I was not
informed at the time of my taking VSNL connection.  We oppose your illegal
instructions which restrict our right to remain in touch with large groups
and networks.    Please withdraw such senseless restrictions.
