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 when sending commercial email, and empowers the federal government to enforce the law. Penalties can include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years.

How to protect yourself from spam: take the spam test

1. 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?
2. Are you sending to distribution lists or mailing lists which send indirectly to a variety of email addresses?
3. Are you sending to mailing lists that you purchased or obtained from a source other than from a reputable list sourcing agency (an agency that follows all laws and regulations in obtaining and distributing email addresses)?
4. Are you sending to mailing lists that contain only email address (without any other information about the contacts such as the contact’s name, address or phone number)?
5. Are you sending to contacts who did not provide their email address directly to you, or who do not have an established relationship with you?
6. Have you falsified your originating address or transmission path information?
7. Have you used a third party email address or domain name without permission?
8. Does your email’s subject line contain false or misleading information? Does your email content contain false or misleading information?
9. Does your email fail to provide a working link to unsubscribe?
10. Are you failing to process any unsubscribe requests that come to you via a reply to your email within 10 days or the request?

If you have answered YES to ANY of the above questions you will likely be labeled a SPAMMER. For more information, contact our customer support (support@contactbeacon.com).
