Then ask: okay, that being the case, do you really want to do that by ''[[spam]]''? Now here the size and public orientation of your business will be determinative. If you are a retail bank mailing six million people about a change to the terms and conditions of their current accounts, then ''absolutely'' you want to be doing this by spam.
