Anti Spam Policy
Quickie Marketing, Inc wishes to clarify a number of issues concerning
unsolicited commercial e-mail messages, also known as Spam or junk mail.
This document explains what Spam is and the views and responsibilities of
Quickie Marketing, Inc on the subject. For more information about Spam in
general, please see the Links provided at the end of this document. About
Spam Spam is not merely annoying: it is also a serious drain on the
resources of ISPs, other organizations, and Internet users. Sending Spam
mail may seem like a cheap and convenient way to amplify marketing efforts,
yet honest businesses rarely employ this questionable marketing tool.
Firstly, nobody wishes to receive unsolicited junk mail. Secondly, it is
considered both an annoyance and an intrusion of privacy. Thirdly, each sent
e-mail message contributes to Internet traffic and uses up bandwidth. An
e-mail message does not reach its recipient instantaneously; instead, it is
relayed by any number of systems en route until it reaches its final
destination. Spam mail is often sent out in thousands or hundreds of
thousands of copies, to huge numbers of unwitting recipients. This large
load of messages often causes network problems and congestion, meaning that
third parties as well as message recipients are suffering because some
inconsiderate person or company has pumped half a million copies of a
message through the Internet. Unfortunately, there are many such worthless
members of society. For more information on Spam, refer to the links at the
end of this document for some excellent reviews of the problem. Who is
responsible This is a difficult issue.
Spammers rarely use their regular e-mail addresses for the following
reasons, among others: Their Internet Service Providers will realize they
are Spamming, and will take steps to prevent future Spam (for example, by
deleting Spammer's e-mail accounts) Spammers could become the victims of
mail-bombing, as thousands of irate Spam recipients strike back with
messages of their own. Spammers therefore rely on anonymous e-mail addresses
such as those available from free e-mail providers. Sometimes the addresses
you see on Spam messages are invalid (faked). It is important to realize
where the responsibility for Spam lies. Make no mistake: Spammers are often
reasonably skilled frauds and thieves as well as highly annoying.
Many Spammers have developed specific strategies of Spamming in order to
avoid responsibility for their actions, or to avoid mail blocking and
filtering: They relay Spam messages off the mail server of an innocent third
party, in which case even more damage is incurred by the on-line population
in general. This technique requires an "open relay". It is Quickie
Marketing, Inc policy to avoid open relays entirely. They use the "drop box"
strategy. This consists of sending mail out from an account that allows
Spam, but putting another address in the "Reply to:" message header, so that
anyone replying to the message is actually sending mail to an account that
did not originate the Spam.
Many Spammers want to send out ads or sales info and do not expect a reply.
By drop boxing they are forging their e-mail addresses and relieving
themselves of accountability. Recipients of Spam should always check the
full message headers to determine the origin of the Spam. Spoofing. This
fairly complex technique makes a message appear as if it is coming from an
address that did not originate the message. Including a paragraph claiming
that the law sanctions Spam as long as there is a "remove from list" address
in the Spam message, or similar variations of this obtuse argument. Do not
fall for this trick, as the "remove from list" address is almost always a
sham. Not only do you generate useless traffic if you try to remove yourself
from a large number of "lists", but in some cases Spammers will be delighted
to put an "active"; mark next to your name on their address databases upon
receipt of your complaint.
Spammers are dishonest people employing dishonest tactics. Don't trust them,
report them. How Quickie Marketing, Inc Features in the Spam Problem Quickie
Marketing, Inc powers a large number of free e-mail Web sites, which
unfortunately are the first place that Spammers choose to set up their Spam
accounts. Quickie Marketing, Inc technology prohibits users from sending
mass mail, however Quickie Marketing, Inc can do little about the drop box
approach. Nor can Quickie Marketing, Inc accept responsibility for spoofing,
or Spammers who define a fake series of message headers to create the
illusion that a message is coming from a particular site innocent of
Spamming.
For example, user
annoyingperson@unitedspam.com is sending out half a million messages a
day in order to advertise his miserable pyramid scheme. His Spam messages,
however, look as if they are coming from
innocentfellow@quickiemarketing.com, because the message headers have
been falsified or the message has been spoofed. --> What to do The most
important thing is to examine your full message headers to determine where
the message really came from. The "From:" header that is commonly shown in
basic message header displays can be easily faked! It is harder to fake the
complete message header, which can provide useful information about the
message.
Quickie Marketing, Inc technology allows users to see the full message
headers of all e-mail messages. Any users that are suspected of Spamming
from an Quickie Marketing, Inc site, or of using an Quickie Marketing, Inc
site for drop boxing or spoofing, should be reported immediately. We will
investigate the user and take action if we determine that he/she is guilty.
You may contact
postmaster@quickiemarketing.com, or the specific Powered by Quickie
Marketing, Inc Web site from which you received the junk mail. Spoofing and
drop boxing are usually beyond the absolute control and responsibility of
Quickie Marketing, Inc. Quickie Marketing, Inc will do the utmost to prevent
Spam, but we ask the recipients of junk mail to understand that very often
Quickie Marketing, Inc is not the originator of such messages, but one of
the victims!
The solutions to spoofing and drop boxing are complex and involve
co-operation between a number of Web sites and ISPs. Refer to the links
