Free anti-spam policy

Anti-spam policies are used by service providers to set out their policies in relation to unwanted commercial communications, commonly known as spam.

Whilst spam filters, whitelists/blacklists and other technical measures are important anti-spam tools, formal anti-spam policies also help, demonstrating that the service provider takes spam issues seriously, and potentially creating legal rights and obligations in relation to service misuse.

This anti-spam policy document opens with a definition of spam ("unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, typically sent for a commercial purpose"), and an assertion that the operator does not tolerate spam.

The policy covers the operator's own spam filtering and reporting systems, the improper use of messaging facilities by users, and the sending of commercial messages by the service provider.
