Email Acceptable Use Policy

Bulk Email Definition

"Bulk Email" is defined as Unsolicited Commercial Email, or UCE, transmitted within a short time frame to users not given the option to unsubscribe from or opt out of receiving such email.

Use of third-party providers for mailing lists where recipients may voluntarily opt-in and out is encouraged.

Spam Email Definition

Under the CAN-SPAM Act, "spam email" is an electronic mail message whose primary purpose is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service, including an email that promotes content on a commercial website. Mail2World further defines "Spam Email" as sending unwanted email messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to users not given the option to unsubscribe from or opt out of a distribution list.
