    Spam isn't just harvesting emails - spam is sending unsolicited advertising. Period.

    1. Yes that is spam, no it's not legal, it's not ethical, and it's not real bright.
    2. You can legally email a business if you get them to opt in to be mailed to.
    3. You can email them legally if you are interested in what THEY are offering.
    4. Not sure where you can BUY a good list - you might just have to become a marketer and BUILD one of your own.

      I have a list of 500,000 small to medium size business owners which I will never sell. But I will send your offer to some of them.
      PM me for rates.
