YES! 1000 times YES! This is not about CONTENT, it's about CONSENT! Even one person who forgets they gave you permission can get you onto a block-list. Things like SpamCop, that's more difficult, but still doable. If you make it too easy or don't verify the sign-ups with a verifiable, confirmed opt-in, you're in trouble. It's too easy to screw up and too hard to fix once you have. Let Constant Contact or some other *reputable* company do the hard work for you!

' From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 10:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Blacklist avoidance My marketing department wants to start sending emails to customers that have signed up for special notifications. I have advised them to keep their lists to 99 and only one list per hour to keep us off any Blacklists. My question is how do I get set up with Comcast, AT&T, Sprint, etc to be able to send loads of valid emails and not get automagically put on a blacklist? Is there an SLA I can pay for with these types of companies or am I pissing up the wrong rope? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
