I agree that it's a great function of an affiliate program, but to point out one technical issue from the perspective of the sponsor -

Addressing the 20 emails per day issue - a big problem with this is the actual email address itself. A lot of people, affiliates included, use free email accounts like yahoo, hotmail, etc.

Those mailsevers and even Comcast and AOL are extremly spam sensitive. No one knows their algorithim (for spam) but I bet if you sent out even 20 of these (almost identical emails) the originating mail server would be shut down - for spamming.

I would definitely be curious to know how other programs do it without being flagged.
