Most people have heard there are laws about spam emailing. Yet, many have no clue what the laws are.

To get a very detailed overview go to http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm

"It prohibits deceptive subject lines. The subject line cannot mislead the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message."

I can't tell you how many spam emails I get that have these tricky subject lines. I go through my mail hitting delete, delete, delete. Then I get a subject that could be from someone in the forums and I open it. I always feel like the spammers got me when I open one with a questionable subject line.

It makes you wonder who the person behind these types of messages are. And how they get around all the laws. But for the rest of us, not worth taking a chance of not complying to the Can Spam laws.

I use Constant Contact for my email list. What I don't understand is that I usually end up with a couple people who say they have been spammed when I send newsletters. The only people who receive them are ones who have signed up through my sites. Any ideas?

From reading what others have to say on the Constant Contact forum it seems that some people would rather hit "spam" to delete the newsletter rather than hit the unsubscribe. What they don't realize is that CC monitors the number of "spam" hits you get and if you get X number of them, you are barred from using CC. What the people who hit "spam" don't realize is that YOU can see who they are.

Chalk it up to some being lazy, others being ah...mean? spiteful? Surely not. I'll pick lazy.

Ah, I didn't know that. I'm going to have to do some snooping. Thanks Georgia.

Some people sign up for so many things they forget what they actually asked for. They could have signed up months ago for something, forgotten they did, and then blame you.
