Nipon Computer.com, has a zero tolerance
policy regarding unsolicited commercial email (UCE) and
unsolicited bulk email (UBE) also known as "spam".
The definition of spam:
An electronic message is "spam" IF: (1) the recipient's personal
identity and context are irrelevant because the message is
equally applicable to many other potential recipients; AND (2)
the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit,
and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; AND (3) the
transmission and reception of the message appears to the
recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.
You will be cited with "Abuse" if you send any email to persons
who have not specifically asked to receive email from you. The
sending origin of such email is irrelevant. Upon confirmation of
abuse, any Nipon Computer.com customer engaging in this practice
will have their service suspended. Not only does spam place a
strain on the server that can negatively effect that server's
uptime record and performance record, you subject that server to
the possibility of being blacklisted.
If your site will be sending mailings out to subscribers, this
is a checklist of what you are required to do:
The number of messages allowed to be sent per hour, per domain,
is 350 messages.
You must not try to hide, forge or misrepresent the sender of
the e-mail and sending site of the e-mail.
Bulk mailings must specifically state how the persons' e-mail
addresses were obtained and must indicate the frequency of the
mailing.
Bulk mailings should contain simple and obvious unsubscribe
mechanisms. We recommend that this be in the form of a working
link to a one-click unsubscribe system; however, a valid "reply
to:" address may be used instead.
All subscription based e-mail must have valid, non-electronic,
contact information for the sending organization in the text of
each e-mail including either a phone number or physical mailing
address.
All bulk e-mail must be solicited, meaning that the sender has
an existing and provable relationship with the e-mail recipient
and the recipient has not requested not to receive future
mailings from the sender.
