CAN-SPAM Act-General Question - GoFuckYourself.com

tigerallenyim · 11-06-2006, 09:45 AM

As far as non-adult material/product/services:

Can a person/entity send unsolicited bulk e-mail to anyone so long the e-mail has:
an opt-out mechanism;
a valid subject line and header (routing) information;
the legitimate physical address of the mailer.

But the more important question is:
Does the person/entity need to have the list opted in, double-opted in, or does not require an opt-in.

Thanks.

"Letter of the law" -
has to be clearly identified as an advertisement
has to have a removal mechanism
has to have physical address of sender
has to have valid return address, authentic message headers.

Your host/ ISP's terms of service/ AUP may say something COMPLETELY different. You need to check with them, too.

yes this is correct, but you forgot to mention nothing forged in the headers, etc.

Thought it had to be opt in, with a date/time/IP stamp too
