 Autoresponders and Spam – What You Need To 

Know


There are laws against sending spam. There are 

even laws that you must adhere to when you send 

out email that was requested. No matter what type 

of email you are sending out, the chances are good 

that the anti-spam laws apply to you in some way.



In order to be in compliance with the anti-spam laws 

in various states in the US, each commercial email 

that you send must include your name or business 

name, your street address, city, state, zip code, 

and phone number. You must also include 

instructions that will allow the recipient to remove 

themselves from your mailing list. If you fail to do 

any of this, you are essentially breaking the law in 

various states – no matter what state or country you 

live in!


Protect yourself from spam complaints in any way 

that you can. Make sure that when a customer 

requests any type of information from you that an 

email is sent requesting confirmation before any 

other email is sent. If someone is placing an order 

from you, include a check box on the order form, 

asking for permission to send them periodic emails.

Never use your autoresponder to send unsolicited 

commercial email!
