Anti-Spam Policy
1. What is SPAM?
SPAM is a serious problem on the Internet. A SPAM Email is an
unsolicited commercial email, in other words, an email trying to sell
you something which you haven't requested.
Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email. This includes "junk
mail", which has usually been requested by the recipient. It may be
intrusive and is oftentimes actually irrelevant & even distasteful -
moreover it can waste valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite
of permission-based email, which are normally anticipated, personal,
relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing business or personal
relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of
excessive posting of the same materials to several newsgroups, are also
deemed to be spam.
2. Definition of SPAM
SPAM is the sending of unsolicited and unauthorized e-mails or online
communications such as but not limited to bulletin boards, user groups
or instant messaging services to individuals or businesses who do not
know you personally. And who have not agreed or requested to receive
your emails. Or have not provided their email address directly to the
sender. Or an email sent to a recipient who would not have a reasonable
expectation of receiving email from the sender. SPAM can be a single
email or a bulk mailing.
Posting messages to Usenet or News Group groups that explicitly forbid
the posting of commercial solicitations or solicitations not pertaining
to their content is SPAM.
Buying a list of emails from a third party and individually or bulk
emailing them is considered SPAM.
Opt-out lists where a person is specifically required to request removal
from a mailing list in order to prevent solicitation is SPAM.
Hiring a company that is mailing out to a list of people with your
opportunity that did not specifically request to receive your
information beforehand is considered SPAM.
3. What is not Spam?
Emailing through an approved DOUBLE Opt-in list Newsletter is NOT
considered SPAM. Double opt-in means that not only did the people
request to be on the list; they verified it by approving the request a
second time. The BEST guideline for knowing whether or not an email is
SPAM is if someone did not specifically request the information then it
is SPAM.
