What is SPAM?
Spam is the unsolicited transmission of bulk e-mail and/or the
posting of off-topic messages to Usenet newsgroups or other Internet
lists, instant messaging systems and chat rooms. While Pennington Drug Center encourages members to share our program with others;
the company does not condone any form of spamming. This includes:
- Unsolicited E-mail: An e-mail message sent to anyone with
whom you do not have a personal or professional relationship,
or who has not specifically requested information, is considered
spamming.
- Newsgroups/Message Boards/Bulletin Boards: Pennington Drug Center
anti-spamming policy expressly forbids posting to sites not
related to business opportunities, and where information
about our program is banned either by description or name.
Misleading messages sent or posted to potential referrals
are considered spamming. So are messages or posts unrelated
to discussion topics from members.
- Chat Room Solicitations: Any and all solicitations posted
in chat rooms or through instant messaging services are defined
as spam.
- Non-Internet Spam: The distribution of printed materials
on private property or where otherwise prohibited goes against
Pennington Drug Center anti-spamming policy.
- Safeguard: Before posting any Pennington Drug Center material
to a site or newsgroup, check its Terms of Service or FAQ's
for specific rules. If you are not sure if these rules allow
you to share the Pennington Drug Center message, check with spam@penningtondrugcenter.com before
posting any information about our program.
DELETION POLICY
- Upon verification, delete the e-mail account that is associated
with spam.
- Add e-mail address to spam database (list available for
public viewing).
- Respond to the complaint.
- Pennington Drug Center will terminate your membership if you
SPAM and make you ineligible for any new membership.
THINGS A USER CAN DO TO PREVENT SPAM
Employ the following mechanisms to fight spam:
- Install an SMTP server, which prevents hackers from using
our service to relay spam messages to people.
- Have an outgoing address limit to prevent spammers from
using our service to send messages out to users. Limit addresses
to 25 per message and 100 addresses per day. Once this sender
reaches the address limit, s/he receives an error message.
- Have an Address Blocking feature that allows users the
ability to prevent unwanted e-mails by controlling who can
and cannot send the user e-mails. The user can choose to
receive mail from addresses in their Address Book and from
addresses to whom they have sent mail or the user can choose
to block specified addresses.
- Have a list of known spammers that the user can opt to
have blocked. This option is part of our Address Blocking
feature.
- Users can send feedback informing Pennington Drug Center of
known spammers which we will add to our list. If a person
is reported as a spammer, we block their account automatically.
Actual deletion happens after 30 days to guard against an
erroneous deletion.
SUMMARY
Spam is a critical issue impacting the entire Internet and
not just Pennington Drug Center and their partners. The header
information has been forged on most of the spam you see with
Pennington Drug Center. The messages usually do not originate from
our mail service or pass through it. In addition, Pennington Drug Center is not involved but are victims of the spammer.
Pennington Drug Center takes an aggressive approach in combating
spammers. In addition, Pennington Drug Center provides its users
with controls to block spammers. Pennington Drug Center is constantly
looking to improve our anti-spamming services. Spammers may
be subjected to state and federal penalties and other legal
consequences under applicable law if they violate our anti-SPAM
Policy. That is the bottom line; SPAM cannot and will not
be tolerated. If you know of someone who has violated our
Anti-SPAM Policy, please contact us at spam@penningtondrugcenter.com.
Please include a copy of the SPAM message and a brief explanation.
Spam complaints that do not contain a copy of the SPAM message
received, or complaints that simply state "Remove us from
your lists" will be returned with requests for a copy of
the e-mail about which the complaint is being raised. This
is not meant to be rude or difficult. Pennington Drug Center needs
this information to pursue your complaint, and cannot do
so without it. Please help us end Internet spam.
