Our policy is to strictly and emphatically honor remove requests. We regard the privacy and sanctity of the recipient with high regard. We know that bulk email is legal, and over all not objected to. At the same time we provide three to five ways in each mailing for recipients to get removed, and honor those requests immediately. We never share the remove lists.
Respect is our highest priority.
Currently there are five state laws that have gone into effect that regulate bulk email. None of them state that bulk email is illegal. Two of them, VA and WA have been challenged in State Court and found unconstitutional in that the states have no right to regulate inter-state commerce. Other state laws, such as New York have already been thrown out. Below are some links to current state laws.
