What is the CAN-SPAM act?

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them.

The law, which became effective January 1, 2004, covers email whose primary purpose is advertising or promoting a commercial product or service, including content on a Web site. A "transactional or relationship message" . email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship . may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is authorized to enforce the CAN-SPAM Act. CAN-SPAM also gives the Department of Justice (DOJ) the authority to enforce its criminal sanctions. Other federal and state agencies can enforce the law against organizations under their jurisdiction, and companies that provide Internet access may sue violators, as well.

What does the law require?

* It bans false or misleading header information. Your email's "From," "To," and routing information . including the originating domain name and email address . must be accurate and identify the person who initiated the email.
* It prohibits deceptive subject lines. The subject line cannot mislead the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message.
* It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method. You must provide a return email address or another Internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask you not to send future email messages to that email address, and you must honor the requests. You may create a "menu" of choices to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to end any commercial messages from the sender.
* It requires that commercial email be identified as an advertisement and include the sender's valid physical postal address. Your message must contain clear and conspicuous notice that the message is an advertisement or solicitation and that the recipient can opt out of receiving more commercial email from you. It also must include your valid physical postal address.

Indications that you might be sending SPAM:

1. You purchased or rented a list
2. You are sending to general addresses such as: sales@domain.com, business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com, info@domain.com, or other general addresses.
3. You are mailing to anyone who has not agreed to receive email from you.
4. You have falsified your originating address or transmission path information.
5. You have used a third party email address or domain name without their permission.
6. Your subject line contain false or misleading information.

Simply put - "Do not SPAM!". It is bad business, and it could be equally as bad for you! There are numerous sources that provide opt-in and preferably, double opt-in emails for marketing purposes. There are several of these sources listed in your MCC back office.
