RE: [PHP-DB] Unsubscribe (mailign lsits in general) question...
Tris, Here's what I found on infoworld.com in a very limited search (dated 1/12/04). There is info in there that should provide you with other avenues of research to clarify your company's responsibility. Here is a relevant excerpt: CAN-SPAM [went into effect Jan 1., 2004] requires that spam e-mail include a working return e-mail address, a valid postal address for the sending company, a working opt-out mechanism and a relevant subject line. The law also directs the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to study setting up a national do-not-spam list, similar to the national do-not-call telemarketing list now in effect. And the relevant link: http://infoworld.com/article/04/01/12/HNspamcomply_1.html So, in a not-so-thorough examination, it does not look like an opt-in link is required. Although, it would seem that the Federal Trade Commission's website (www.ftc.com) should provide additional info for the US.

I've been told by my boss, that the law has changed in relation to 'Opt out' options on mailing lists etc... she tells me that I have to now change all my forms to conform. She claims that now, each time the user must click the 'remain subscribed' link, or we have to remove them from our mailing lists. Thus changing opt out, to opt in, EACH TIME? Is this true? She seems quite sure. We deal with both European and US clients (world wide to be honest, but most other countries don'e care about this.. do they?) Anyone heard of this before?

What's this got to do with databases (PHP-DB list)? It's barely related to PHP to begin with. Think about where your sending your messages before you click the button. ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 9:11 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] Unsubscribe (mailign lsits in general) question...
