Anti-Spam

It's important that as a sender, you know what spam is, too. We'd hate to see you make the mistake of spamming anyone with your email marketing campaign.

What Is Spam?

Email senders tend to use the textbook definition: Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). UBE is a useful definition: it points out that some things that might be OK to do on a 1-to-1 basis (like send an email about your company to someone who has never heard of you) are not OK to do in bulk.

Instead of trying to create a definition of spam that covers every possible scenario, let's look at a few things that we will consider spamming. We think this will give you a pretty good idea of what not to do.

Things You May Not Do At Infymails

• Send email to people who have not specifically requested that information from you.
• If you collect subscribers somewhere other than on your website, and aren't 100% sure someone asked to sign up to your email lists, here's a helpful guide.
• Post irrelevant links to your website in discussion forums, newsgroups or classifieds sites like Craigslist.
• Use email lists that you purchased, rented, leased, or in any way bought from a third party. This includes email addresses that you purchased via co-registration.
• Send unsolicited email through a third party in order to try to get people to sign up to your email list, or to visit a website that you market using Infymails in any way.
• Batch or in any way try to script the addition of new subscribers to the web form subscribe methods. (You can learn more about this in our service agreement.)
