Email - READ CAREFULLY

The sending of bulk mail is ONLY permitted AFTER Confirmed Opt-In has been verified by the Abuse Desk. Starting such a mail campaign without the approval of assortedinternet's Abuse Desk will result in service suspension until verification and approval has been made. Complaints generated in regards to bulk mail are immediately deemed as proof that the recipient did not request such emails and therefore is considered abuse.

Prohibited:

  • Spam. Sending Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) for any purpose whatsoever.
  • Spamvertising. Having third parties send out UBE /UCE on any user's behalf to advertise URLs or any service on assortedinternet's network.

Users must configure any email server in such a way that it will not accept third party emails for forwarding such as an open relay. SMTP servers must be configured in such a way that any user must authenticate to send email.

assortedinternet's Abuse Desk will not send/forward complaints to users for the purposes of listwashing. Should a user have received permission from assortedinternet's Abuse Desk to run a true "Confirmed Opt-in" campaign, complaints will be handled in such a fashion that the sender may remove the recipient from their list after they have proven to the Abuse Desk that the user did opt-in. Any approved campaign found to be operating using third party "bought" lists where opt-in confirmation cannot provided, service will be suspended. Further, time stamps and IP addresses in a database with a recipient's mail address WILL NOT suffice as sufficient proof of Confirmed Opt-in. We will need to inspect the confirmation emails' headers to make sure @aol came from aol servers, etc. Recording a time stamp, email address and IP address is not Confirmed Opt-in.
