Unsolicited Commercial Email
Why We Have Accepted It!
There are only a few times we have ever looked at an unsolicited
commercial email (UCE).
- The sender of the UCE first thoroughly did their home work to determine if we might
even be interested in what they have to offer.
- The sender of the UCE followed to the letter our proposed guidelines for
legally acceptable spam.
What We Won't Look At!
- Hot teen pics, we're not interested.
- Naked wives, I have my own to look at.
- Offers of Viagra, I don't need it.
- A pill that will enlarge my penis 1 to 3 inches, don't need that either.
- A remedy that will increase the size of my breasts one or two cup sizes,
definitely not needed.
- Intimacy products. I'm horny enough already. Get lost!
- How I can make $5,000 in a week. You aren't doing it, so don't bother me with it.
- How I can make $50,000 a month. See above.
- Cheap airline fares. I don't fly.
- Dream vacations in exotic places. If I can't ride to there and back on a Harley,
I don't need to be there.
- Any kind of office supplies. I don't buy them in bulk. After you add shipping and
handling to the price, I can pick it up locally cheaper.
- Boost my web site traffic beyond my wildest dreams. You're web site isn't even in
the top 50 of ANY of the main search engines, so stop bringing attention to your
ignorance.
- Secret paid research sponsored by Microsoft type of chain letter. I'm a web
administrator and a programmer. That means I know more about what's going on at
MS than you do. So buzz off and find a job!
- Money for college. I haven't grown up but my kids have. You're too late.
- Any kind of mortgage. Already got one, don't need any more, and you can't beat
the rate I'm paying.
Researchers say that about 85 percent of the email we get is spam. I would be delighted
if that's ALL WE got! Fact is about 95 percent of our email is spam. Roughly 60 percent
or more is pornographic in nature. In short, about half the email we get promotes porn,
and about 5 to 10 percent of that promotes CHILD pornography. Are you paying attention
all you lawmakers? And yes, we do save every porn related email, especially child porn
related emails sent to us, complete with ALL headers/routing information. They are
archived and made available to any law enforcement agency that requests copies of them.
The bottom line is I only deal with legitimate businesses conducting business in a
professional manner. Any email solicitation sent to us must meet the requirements as
posted on spam.php exactly or it will be
deleted automatically from the server. Continuing to send us solicitations that do
not meet the requirements will be viewed as harassment.
Consider yourself forewarned!
