Email Policy
Mass Mailings: UPOINT has a zero stance
policy on SPAM, Junk E-mail or UCE. Spam, Junk-mail and
UCE are defined as: the sending of the same, or
substantially similar, unsolicited electronic mail
messages, whether commercial or not, to more than one
recipient. A message is considered unsolicited if it is
posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is
sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the
message. UCE also includes e-mail with forged headers,
compromised mail server relays, and false contact
information. This prohibition extends to the sending of
unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in
any way implicates the use of UPOINT whether or not the
message actually originated from our network.
Mailing Lists: UPOINT's mass mailing rules also
apply to mailing lists, list servs, or mailing services
you may contract with. The policy is stated as follows:
An acceptable mailing list will be focused at a targeted
audience that has voluntarily signed up (using the closed-loop opt-in*1 method) for your e-mail information
or that has made their e-mail address available for
distribution of information from you. The list must also
allow for automatic removal by all end Customers with
non-distribution in the future.
*1
Also
known as "Confirmed Opt-in" or "Verified Opt-in". The
Recipient has verifiably confirmed permission for the
address to be included on the specific mailing list, by
confirming (responding to) the list subscription request
verification. This is the standard practice for all
Internet mailing lists, it ensures users are properly
subscribed from a working address and with the address
owner's consent.
