NetCreations has the Postmaster Direct program. It is the closest I have
seen to what you describe. You can be put on a mailing list that will send
you general solitications within dozens of different topics. This is not a
newsletter or discussion list, just an announcement service whenever they
get a client order. There is a broad range of clients too.

Check it out at http://www.netcreations.com/postdirect/

I would rather see this type of service than have my email address scooped
up at random for posting this message.
