BULK MAIL AND MAILING LISTS:
- Unsolicited bulk mail (spam) of any kind is strictly prohibited.
- Any other bulk mail must be Confirmed Opt-in (aka double opt-in
or closed loop opt-in).
You must maintain complete and accurate records of all
consents and confirmed opt-ins and be prepared to present
those records in case a spam complaint is filed against you.
Confirmed Opt-in means a user has explicitly subscribed
or requested to be added to a mailing list and you have
confirmed their email address. Confirmation is usually done
by responding to a confirmation email sent to the
email address the end user specified. The confirmed opt-in
method ensures that no person can subscribe someone else out of
malice or error.
You are not be permitted to use any mailing list that you
were given or purchased. Doing so will be considered
spamming and may result in termination of the offending
account.
Legacy lists that are not confirmed opt-in will need to be
converted to a confirmed opt-in list.
- Commercial bulk mail must conform to CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

- Any bulk mail sent through another server that references
your email address, domain or Website hosted here must
also conform to these rules.
- Every message should contain instructions how to unsubscribe.
Unsubscribe requests should be processed within 10 days.
- False or misleading mail headers are prohibited.
