I don’t have time to write this post today.
No, you don’t.
Can.Spam. Act. is a law which requires commercial emailers to be responsible for all emails sent to their clients. It also specifies that if you are a client, you are responsible for all emails sent to your email address. If you send out an email to someone in your address book and someone in your address book accepts your email, you are guilty of violating the provision.
As you may have noticed, email is a very dangerous form of communication. Email is a form of e-mail, and e-mail is a form of spam. In today’s over-saturated world, people are generally more comfortable and comfortable with their e-mail inboxes and only a few of them even check it. The spammer is the same as the emailer, and if you’re one of those people then your chances of getting caught are pretty slim.
In the last two years, we’ve had at least one of these very dangerous emails. This guy was sending out spam emails to his wife’s email account in a very serious manner. We have to report him to the FBI because he is clearly targeting the elderly and causing them to get extremely annoyed. We also have to report him to the Postal Service because he’s sending out spam to his own family.
The act, in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, allows for Internet Service Providers to screen out unsolicited messages, but it only applies to email from spammers. Mailing lists also have to adhere to the CAN SPAM Act because they are not being sent from a legitimate source. If you are an emailer and you are sending out emails that are not being sent from a legitimate source, then you have to report you.
The mailer is not to be considered to be violating the CAN SPAM Act, unless he’s going to be charged under it, and I don’t think he is. Mailing lists are not being sent from a legitimate source, and if they are, I would much rather they be.
Again, from a mailer: “You’re not being sent from a valid email address or you are not sending from a legitimate source.
Source. If you are sending out emails that are not being sent from a legitimate source, then you have to report you.
If you want to report your email addresses, you can do it by calling your spam provider.
