85,000
         

Hell hath no fury like a marketer duped. A company called Javelin Marketing has posted a press release in which they claim that an email list vendor sold them a 100,000 address mailing list with an 85% bounce rate. According to Javelin, the list cost them $14,000 and the massive wave of non-deliverables led to their email hosting service canceling their account. Ouch.
