Just heard about an ebidder getting told off for spamming when he used the mailing box on the buddy page (not the first). Sorry, but that doesn't make much sense. If there's a limit to the number of emails you want sent, simply limit the input box! A warning on the page explaining it too, would help. I think it's perfectly reasonable to want to protect ebid from being marked as a spammer by ISPs, but give folks a fighting chance of getting right, eh?
