1.What is Spam?

Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including “junk mail”, which has not been requested by the recipient. It is intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite of permission-based email, which are normally anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a pre-void business or personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive posting of the same materials to numerous newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam.

2.Preventing Spam

Customers of Forex-About.com products and services have agreed during their registration process, upon accepting the Terms of Use, to comply with this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically, each customer agrees not to use the Forex-About.com products or services to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for commercial purposes. Forex-About.com reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion what constitutes actionable spam, as well as what measures are necessary in response to such spam activities.

(c) Use of any fake or misleading information in the subject line of the email, and

(d) Assisting any person in using the products or services of Forex-About.com for any of these previously mentioned activities.

(a) Are you sending email to non-specific addresses, such as info@domain.com or sales@domain.com?

(b) Have you deliberately falsified your transmission path information or originating address?

(c) Are you sending email to mailing lists or distribution lists, which then send indirectly to various other email addresses?

(d) Have you imported for use a bought list of any type?

(e) Are you long-lasting to mail to anyone who has questioned to be deleted from your mailing list?

(f) Does your email not provide a fully functioning link to unsubscribe?

(g) Does you email subject line control fake or misleading information?

(h) Have you used a third party’s email address or domain name without the party’s consent?
