Definition:

Spam is unsolicited email also known as junk mail or UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email.) If you send any email in bulk (to more than a handful of recipients) to recipients who have not requested to receive it, it will be considered spam, regardless of the contents of the email. By sending email to only to those who have requested to receive it, you are following accepted permission-based email guidelines.

Why we need to oppose spam?

No one likes to receive unsolicited email. It is a burden on mail servers and an annoyance to all who receive it. Further, if we allowed a client to send unsolicited email through our mail servers or did not strictly enforce our Anti-Spam policy, our IP address and domain would be added to blacklists. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and email filter services subscribe to these blacklists. If one of our servers were to be added to a blacklist, all email coming through that server to subscribers whose ISP or mail filer subscribes to that blacklist will not be received. This is for all of our clients, not just the one who sent the original email that was reported. Once on blacklists, it is very difficult and often impossible to get off. As such, we must enforce this policy very strictly.

The Laws:

Laws restricting spam, including the United States' CAN-SPAM Act, the Australian Spam Act of 2003, and other laws that may apply to your country, province, or state.

Take the Spam Test:

Unsure if you are in compliance with the laws and eligible for our services?

• Have you purchased a list of ANY kind?
• Are you sending to non-specific addresses such as:
  sales@domain.com, business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com, info@domain.com, or other general addresses.
• Are you mailing to anyone who has not explicitly agreed to join your mailing list?
• Are you utilizing a list older than 6 months without reconfirming the recipients' subscriptions?
• Have you re-instated an email address after the recipient had unsubscribed?
• Are you sending to distribution lists or mailing lists which send indirectly to a variety of email addresses?

If you have answered YES to ANY of the above questions you will likely be labeled a SPAMMER.

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.

Policy Enforcement:

allWEBemail has a no tolerance spam policy. The strict measures we take to enforce our policy include, but are not limited to:

• We review and monitor all lists submitted. This includes a review of the list source, list age, collection methods, and confirmation practices.
• We review all email content submitted. Any offensive spam content or techniques will be refused and recommended changes requested.
• Every email, whether text or HTML, contains a mandatory unsubscribe/opt-out link at the bottom of the message. This unsubscribe link cannot be removed.

allWEBemail will terminate a client's services if they are found to be in violation of our policy.
