Public DNS AUP Violation (mistakenly was: "GC DNS HACKED -- HELP!!!")

I did not send spam...I have an e-mail list that people can sign up for on
my web page.  I've had this page up since 1997 and people have been
signing up since.  Sometimes people forget about signing up (and I have a
list of 4000 people).  Anyway, I always tell people that if you would like
to be taken off, do not hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do it!

Also, if someone is added to the list, I don't even know about it because
it automatically goes into a database of names...and I've never had a
problem until now.

If you think this is inappropriate, then I will NEVER send these e-mails
from my POP account again, but they are not spam, I swear!  But please, I
would appreciate if you could activate my account again and I will not
send these mailers from my POP account ever again!
