Internet community and us. It clutters e-mail, Web servers and
anti-virus systems with unwanted and inappropriate offers and
information.
MeekaMail has a
zero tolerance spam policy. MeekaMail monitors our customer’s list and
emails that go out. Any customer using MeekaMail for Spam will be
immediately terminated from our system. If you know of or suspect any
violators, please notify us immediately at

Every email must contain an unsubscribe link. If the link is removed or
de-activated in any way, MeekaMail may terminate the customer's
account.
What is Spam?
Spam is unsolicited electronic communications (e-mail, postings in newsgroups & etc.) are considered Spam if:
-
The person receiving the communication is irrelevant because the
message is not targeted to a specific group but rather aimed at any
Internet user; and
- The person receiving the communication has not given explicit permission for it to be sent to them; and/or
- The message information (From:, To:, Subject:, etc.) disguises the identity or purpose of the sender or message.
By
sending email to only to those who have requested to receive it, you
are following accepted permission-based email guidelines. The recipient
of your email has been clearly and fully notified of the collection and
use of his email address and has consented prior to such collection and
use. This is often called informed consent.
Isn't there a law against sending Spam?
The federal anti-spam law went into effect on January 1st, 2004 and
preempts all state laws. While this new law will not stop spam, it does
make most spam illegal and ultimately less attractive to spammers. The
law is specific about requirements to send commercial email and
empowers the federal government to enforce the law. The penalties can
include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years.
How to protect yourself from sending Spam
MeekaMail is a permission-based email-marketing tool that includes
powerful permission features, which follows the strictest
permission-based policies:
- Registration:
On your website, your registration page should state why you are
collecting the site visitor's email address, how you plan to use their
address, and that you are following the MeekaMail privacy policy.
Additionally, by accepting our terms you have agreed to use only
permission-based lists and never to sell or rent your lists.
- Confirmation:
MeekaMail can automatically send all of your new subscribers an email
confirming their interest in receiving emails from you. Additionally,
if your subscriber changes his or her interests or unsubscribes,
MeekaMail automatically can send an email confirmation.
- Opt-in/Opt-out:
Every email generated from MeekaMail must contain an unsubscribe link
which allows your subscribers to opt-out of future email campaigns and
automatically updates your subscriber lists to avoid the chance of
sending unwanted emails to visitors who have unsubscribed.
- Email Campaigns:
Your email campaign “From” address is verified and already accurately
identifies you as the sender. All of your emails should have your
contact information including your physical address.
