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 Tri-Valley Pharmacy 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: Tri-Valley Pharmacy 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 Tri-Valley Pharmacy anti-spamming
policy.
- Safeguard: Before posting any Tri-Valley Pharmacy 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 Tri-Valley Pharmacy
message, check with spam@trivalleypharmacy.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.
- Tri-Valley Pharmacy 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 Tri-Valley Pharmacy 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 Tri-Valley Pharmacy and their partners. The header information has been forged on most
of the spam you see with Tri-Valley Pharmacy. The messages usually do
not originate from our mail service or pass through it. In addition, Tri-Valley Pharmacy is not involved but are victims of the spammer. Tri-Valley Pharmacy takes an aggressive approach in combating spammers. In
addition, Tri-Valley Pharmacy provides its users with controls to block
spammers. Tri-Valley Pharmacy 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@trivalleypharmacy.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. Tri-Valley Pharmacy needs this information
to pursue your complaint, and cannot do so without it. Please help us end
Internet spam.
