What is Spam?
Spam
is unsolicited email also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email). By
sending email only to those who have requested to receive it, you are following
accepted permission-based email guidelines.
What constitutes a Preexisting business relationship?
The
recipient of your email has made a purchase, requested information, responded
to a questionnaire or a survey, or had offline contact with you.
What constitutes consent?
The
recipient of your email has been clearly and fully notified of the collection
and use of his email address and has consented prior to such collection and
use. This is often called informed consent.
Isn't there a law against sending Spam?
The
federal anti-spam law went into effect on January 1st, 2004 and preempts all
state laws. While this new law will not stop spam, it does make most spam
illegal and ultimately less attractive to spammers. The law is specific about
requirements to send commercial email and empowers the federal government to
enforce the law. The penalties can include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to
5 years.
