Email laws, CAN-SPAM, official email rules, government email rules and CAN-SPAM laws explained. Email rules explained.
By: Summer Cisco
A friend of mine had a client who wanted to send a bunch of emails.
Before proceeding he asked me if I knew the “official rules.”
He heard that you could hire a service, which will send mass emails on your behalf.
Maybe this would be the route to go? Would he get in trouble and would it be worth it?
Before proceeding I fired up Google and got the information – straight from the government themselves. Click here as I have provided a useful link to the official gov CAN-SPAM rules – then come back, as I put these rules in a form that humans can understand.
Let us do all your computer maintenance service and see how well your computers perform throughout the years!
Here is what the Government site says:
First off the law is called CAN-SPAM act, (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) effective Jan 1, 2004. Google it for yourself. It is the one Federal Law that replaces the 35 or so laws we had before.
YOU MUST PUT YOUR FULL VALID PHYSICAL POSTAL ADDRESS in every email. ( Be on the safe side an put a street address, not a postal address.)
NO DECEPTIVE SUBJECT LINES. No ” for you only ” or ” from a friend ” etc. This is misleading. The subject line must describe what is in the email.
