2) Pop3 access offered?
3) Fields on signup form
4) Image verification/captcha when sending emails/signing up?

As many as you can find.

Hi! Just to be sure.

What do you mean by "Image verification/captcha".

Thanks!

Forget about my clarification, I think I know what it is.

The third requirement will require a task of visiting and registering
for more than 200 email providers in the US alone and that task would
be too tedious. Would it be ok to leave out this task?

Plus do you require email providers outside of the US as well?

Thanks!

The provider shows an image which contains words which you haveto
enter to signup (i.e yahoo, hotmail etc).
Some providers do it when you send an email too.
i.e http://www.captcha.net/

heh, seems we posted that at the same time.

The third point? i.e fields on signup? All you haveto do is visit the
signup form and copy out the fields that it asks.

You do not need to actually signup.

Also, you are not required to check the image verification when
sending emails, but you are required to atleast check the signup form
to see if theres a captcha there.

Im interested in providers from all over the world, as many as you can find.

Regards.

Hi there,

I have uploaded the list at the following address:
http://www.maxlin.ca/jas/bone/references/texts/email.zip

If you unzip the file, you will see a bunch of word documents, and an
excel file called email.xls

Please refer to the email.xls file.  If you are unable to open the
excel spreadsheet, please let me know and I will upload it in a
different format for you.  Also, please download the file ASAP since
it will not be available at that address permanently.

The excel file includes answers to questions 1,3, and 4.  The fields
are saved in a different file, one for each email service provider, in
the format of <number>.doc
The number refers to that which was assigned to the email provider in
the excel file.

Cheers,
Tox-ga

Would you consider doing another list of 50 for another $300?

Hi there,

Also, if you are in need of a specific quota, please feel free to post
multiple copies of the question with the title as mentioned above and
I'd be happy to assist you until the requirement is met.

Cheers,
Tox-ga

Sadly, it seems i cant tip you $200 as promised, the maximum seems to be $100.
So $300 for your work.

Respond to the clarification request.

Regards.

This wouldn't happen to be a scouting run to use this data as targets
for an automated account generator / zombie spambot farm is it?
Because if it's not, and I hope it's not, and I apologize if it's not,
but the data you requested could easily be adapted to form one.
Especially with the captcha data... not that it's really a hinderance
anymore:
