Acceptable Usage Policy - Spam
Definition: Spam = "Unsolicited Commercial Email"
For more information, see Australian Commonwealth Legislation.
Spam is about consent. If the recipient has not consented
to receive mail from you, it's spam.
There are a few conditions under which it's generally
permissible to initiate contact with another person:
- If the other person's email address invites you to
contact them.
Usually this is about a specific subject (e.g. contact-me-about-my-webpage,
so contacting-them-about-yourproduct is usually out).
- If the person has added themselves to a mailing list you maintain
(again, generally the mailing list will have a charter,
and off-topic emails are out).
- If the person has specifically asked you to contact them at that email address.
If your email doesn't fall under one of these constraints, don't send it.
The spam rules at Highlands Internet are pretty simple:
- You may not send spam using our services.
- You may not use our servers as a maildrop for spam.
