ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES

Safe List Members

If you are a member of a safe list or opt-in list, you may send email to the members of that list, ONLY if you have permission to do so.

All legitimate safe list owners provide a disclaimer for you to use that identifies email sent to others on the safe list that the email they are receiving is due to the safe list membership. If you do not include this disclaimer, even if you forget, you will get SPAM complaints and we will have take action. Forgetfulness is not an excuse.

Personal List Members

If you have a list of people with whom you have previously received permission to send or swap advertisements, and have valid proof of this, you may send them an email ad at your own risk. If you are unsure whether or not you have permission, do not send any advertisements.

If you do receive permission to send solicitations to someone, make sure you keep a copy of that permission as you may later need it for proof.

Outgoing Email

You may not use an Inbox Rocket autoresponder address as the "From:" or "Reply-To:" email address, or an email address that redirects or forwards to an Inbox Rocket autoresponder address in any outgoing headers. Use of an Inbox Rocket address in this, or any other part of the headers of any outgoing email not originating through our servers will is not acceptable.

FFA Link Confirmation Emails

If you have an FFA links page, you may not advertise Inbox Rocket in your "link confirmation email." for any reason. You may not use a Inbox Rocket autoresponder address, tracking URL, or any other Inbox Rocket related service in conjunction with FFA pages. FFA pages are too easily abused to be an allowable advertising method.

Replying to SPAM or Other Email Advertisements

You may not send a solicitation or advertisement to people or businesses just because they sent one to you. SPAM from others is not considered permission to SPAM them back. Receiving an email from someone does not constitute a previous business relationship, "opting in", or consent to send future messages.

Lists Purchased From Outside Vendors

You may NOT purchase a list from any outside vendor under any circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to, co-registration lists, surveyed lists, lead discs, or any other source.

Newsgroups

You may NOT post your ad to newsgroupsto solicit subscribers. You may also not post or make mention of any Inbox Rocket autoresponder or email address in a newsgroup posting because the newsgroups are frequently harvested.

Disclaimers

You may NOT send any email that includes a disclaimer. If we receive a complaint on an offending email includes that includes any of these statements, your account will be terminated without investigation.

"This is not SPAM. This ad is being sent in compliance with Senate bill 1618, Title 3, section 301."

"You are receiving this email because you are either on a safe list, you posted to my FFA page, or you have sent me an ad."

"You are receiving this email because I heard you were interested in business opportunities."

These are just a few examples of unacceptable disclaimers, and this list is by no means exhaustive.

Inbox Rocket makes use of "spam-trap" addresses. These email addresses are posted to newsgroups, message boards, classified systems, and in various other locations around the Internet.
