Can anyone recommend me a source for qualified e-mail addresses?

Target audience:
- embassies
- government representatives
- very wealthy individuals
- international organisations
- etc.

Addresses should be worldwide.

What is your experience with email marketing?
What’s your opinion about the risk of appearing as a ”spammer”?

Thanks

I would not recommend any web-based source unless it is a portal site for a print magazine. Most web-based sources just use e-mail harvesters to gather addresses and using them is definitely SPAM!

Some print magazines offer e-mail lists of their membership that are qualified as opt-in. Look for magazines that your target audience might subscribe to.

E-mail marketing can be very effective if you don't piss off your audience.
