Basic Mailing List Management Principles For Preventing Abuse
Mailing lists are an excellent approach for dispersing information, but
they MUST be used correctly. Use the following points as your guide to
correct use of mailing lists. (Please make sure and read the Spamming
terms above). If you have any questions or want to check the legitimacy
of your mailing list please contact us through our website at www.loungenetwork.co.nz.

A - |
Verification of New Subscribers |
|
|
Mailing addresses of new subscribers must
be verified prior to your emailing. You may do this in several ways,
i.e. sending an email out to which the subscriber must reply to;
you may also send a URL in the email which the subscriber will go
to, to complete the verification. |
|
B - |
Subscriber Termination |
|
|
The administrator of the mailing list must
provide a clear and simple method along with such instructions for
the subscriber to terminate their subscription at their will. This
must be done promptly. |
|
C - |
Out of Band Procedure |
|
|
The
administrator of the mailing list must have a procedure where
they may be reached
(i.e. via email or phone) for further
communication for those who wish to terminate their subscription
but do not or will not do it through the automated procedures. |
|
D - |
Impact
of Mailing on Networks & Hosts |
|
|
The
administrator of the mailing list must ensure that the list is
properly managed, and
has minimal impact on the hosting network. This may be
done by moderating the list and deleting undeliverable and invalid
addresses. You must ensure that the mailing list does
not overwhelm other hosting network. |
|
E - |
Email Use |
|
|
The
administrator
of mailing list must ensure that the list is not being used for
abusive purposes. |
|
F - |
Email
Address Disclosures |
|
|
The
administrator
of mailing list has full responsibility over the addresses in their
possession, and must use adequate protection to prevent their disclosure. |
|
G - |
Nature of the Mailing Lists |
|
|
Administrator
of mailing list is responsible for taking adequate disclosure for
the nature, content, subject and
frequency of the emails. A subject matter which varies to some degree
from that to which the subscriber signed up to, or the frequency
of the emails changes, will require the need for a new
mailing list. This will need the "opt-in" approval
of the subscriber. Existing subscribers should never be subscribed
to
a new mailing
list automatically. |
Our servers

in the transmission of Spam, Flames, or Mail Bombs. Your domain
may not be referenced as originator, intermediary, or reply-to address
in any of the above.
