Anti-Spam for KowaBunga! Technologies

Opt-In Pro is CAN-SPAM Compliant. What are the main points of Can-SPAM? 

• Requires the inclusion of a valid physical postal address within every commercial email 

• Outlaws the use of false or misleading headers 

• Outlaws the use of deceptive subject lines 

• Requires a clear and conspicuous opt-out mechanism within every commercial email 

The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) will be strict in their enforcement of the CAN-SPAM law and violators may be subject to “cease and desist” orders or penalties up to $11,000 per violation. Criminal prosecution is also possible in the case of egregious offenders, which can result in penalties such as fines, forfeiture of proceeds and equipment. 

The worst offenders will also be subject to prison time. Legitimate email marketers that use Opt-In Pro will likely not have to worry about the consequences mentioned above, however, the significance of the law is very important to adhere to for everyone.
