It has been many
moons since the CRS
Newsletter graced your
 screens. We were stonewalled by
anti-spam software, including being blacklisted by
our own server! It became very difficult to
overcome all the barriers
out there, despite the fact that ours was a
legitimate opt-in newsletter.
So, I
retreated and subscribed to a few
how-to-run-your-own-internet-marketing-business
type newsletters to find out how they managed to
get their newsletters through to me. In the
process, I learnt a lot, and our resurrected
newsletter is in a completely new style and format. I
hope you like it. If you wish, you may
unsubscribe as indicated elsewhere in this
newsletter.
We have now
acquired state-of-the-art email marketing software
to handle our newsletter more efficiently and to
overcome the problems that we encountered
previously. Do not worry, we will not spam
you. If you are receiving this, then you had
subscribed to us at some
point.

If you are
like me, you get tons of unwanted junk mail every
day. There is a variety of software (many
are marketed through spam, ironically) that can
effectively manage this for you. I have been
using Outlook 2003 and I’m very impressed at how
this filters junk mail. I have not found a
single valid email filtered out by mistake
yet.
Did you know
that there are now US laws regulating commercial
mailings? Amongst other things, newsletters
must have a working opt-out link in each email.
Each unsubscribe request must be suppressed from
future mailings and the address must be removed
from the mailing list within 10 business
days. So, in theory, you should be able to
get rid off unwanted mailings by simply
unsubscribing from them.
This is an
excellent analysis of the legislation in PDF:

Getting caught
breaking the law can result in a jail sentence in
the USA. I wonder how that will stop the
European junk mail! It is still best to
avoid displaying your email address out there on a
website or to enter it into any web based
database. Difficult, I know, in this age of
global communication.
I do promise
that I will do my best to comply with these laws
even though I am not governed by them as I live in
Trinidad &
Tobago. |
