Autoresponders and Spam – What You Need To Know

There are laws against sending spam. There are

even laws that you must adhere to when you send

out email that was requested. No matter what type

of email you are sending out, the chances are good

that the anti-spam laws apply to you in some way.

In order to be in compliance with the anti-spam laws

in various states in the US, each commercial email

that you send must include your name or business

name, your street address, city, state, zip code,

and phone number. You must also include

instructions that will allow the recipient to remove

themselves from your mailing list. If you fail to do

any of this, you are essentially breaking the law in

various states – no matter what state or country you

live in!

Protect yourself from spam complaints in any way

that you can. Make sure that when a customer

requests any type of information from you that an

email is sent requesting confirmation before any

other email is sent. If someone is placing an order

from you, include a check box on the order form,

asking for permission to send them periodic emails.

Never use your autoresponder to send unsolicited

commercial email!
