Repercussions of SPAM:
Across the Web, it is generally accepted that SPAM
is an inconsiderate and improper business practice.
phpwebhosting.biz:
SPAM is not only harmful because of its negative
impact on consumer attitudes toward phpwebhosting.biz, but also because
it can overload phpwebhosting.biz's network and resources, especially
on our shared (virtual) server environments.
Our Providers:
Since it is unsolicited, users who receive SPAM often
become angry and send complaints to our upstream providers. This
upsets our providers who abhor SPAM for the same reasons that phpwebhosting.biz does - it causes negative consumer attitudes and drains resources.
We strive to maintain favorable business relationships in the Web
community and obviously will not allow any practice that threatens
these relationships.
Punishment For SPAM:
phpwebhosting.biz reserves the right to terminate,
without warning, any account that violates this policy. Usage of
phpwebhosting.biz services constitutes acceptance and understanding
of this policy.
phpwebhosting.biz may, at its option, deduct from
the amount you paid $25.00 per SPAM complaint
we receive for Virtual Server customers. These are non-refundable
charges and will be invoiced at the time of complaint notification.
Phpwebhosting.biz reserves the right to decide what
it considers "SPAM", "UCE", "mail bombing",
or "bulk e-mail", and to determine from all of the evidence
whether or not the e-mail recipients were from an "opt-in"
e-mail list.
Should you choose to e-mail from phpwebhosting.biz
servers, especially if you use mailing lists, you must read and
adhere to the following guidelines, which are offered as a statement
of Internet standards and best current practices for proper mailing
list management and preventing e-mail abuse.
Basic Mailing List Management Principles for Preventing
Abuse
Mailing lists are an excellent vehicle for distributing
focused, targeted information to an interested, receptive audience.
Consequently, mailing lists have been used successfully as a highly
effective direct marketing tool.
Unfortunately, some marketers misuse mailing lists
through a lack of understanding of Internet customs and rules of
the forum pertaining to e-mail. Others fail to take adequate precautions
to prevent the lists they manage from being used in an abusive manner.
-
The e-mail addresses of new subscribers must
be confirmed or verified before mailings commence. This is usually
accomplished by means of an e-mail message sent to the subscriber
to which s/he must reply, or containing a URL which s/he must
visit, in order to complete the subscription. However it is
implemented, a fundamental requirement of all lists is the verification
of all new subscriptions.
-
Mailing list administrators must provide a
simple method for subscribers to terminate their subscriptions,
and administrators should provide clear and effective instructions
for unsubscribing from a mailing list. Mailings from a list
must cease promptly once a subscription is terminated.
-
Mailing list administrators should make an
"out of band" procedure (e.g., a means of contact
by which messages may be sent for further correspondence via
e-mail or telephone) available for those who wish to terminate
their mailing list subscriptions but are unable or unwilling
to follow standard automated procedures.
-
Mailing list administrators must ensure that
the impact of their mailings on the networks and hosts of others
is minimized by proper list management procedures such as pruning
of invalid or undeliverable addresses, or taking steps to ensure
that mailings do not overwhelm less robust hosts or networks.
-
Mailing list administrators must take adequate
steps to ensure that their lists are not used for abusive purposes.
For example, administrators can maintain a "suppression
list" of e-mail addresses from which all subscription requests
are rejected. Addresses would be added to the suppression list
upon request by the parties entitled to use the addresses at
issue. The purpose of the suppression list would be to prevent
subscription of addresses appearing on the suppression list
by unauthorized third parties. Such suppression lists should
also give properly authorized domain administrators the option
to suppress all mailings to the domains for which they are responsible.
-
Mailing list administrators must make adequate
disclosures about how subscriber addresses will be used, including
whether or not addresses are subject to sale or trade with other
parties. Once a mailing list is traded or sold, it may no longer
be an opt-in mailing list. Therefore, those who are acquiring
"opt-in" lists from others must examine the terms
and conditions under which the addresses were originally compiled
and determine that all recipients have in fact opted-in specifically
to the mailing lists to which they are being traded or sold.
-
Mailing list administrators should make adequate
disclosures about the nature of their mailing lists, including
the subject matter of the lists and anticipated frequency of
messages. A substantive change in either the subject matter
or frequency of messages may constitute a new and separate mailing
list requiring a separate subscription. List administrators
should create a new mailing list when there is a substantive
change in either the subject matter or frequency of messages.
A notification about the new mailing list may be appropriate
on the existing mailing list, but existing subscribers should
never be subscribed automatically to the new list. For example,
if Company A acquires Company B, and Company B has compiled
opt-in mailing lists, Company A should not summarily incorporate
Company B's mailing lists into its own.
