Houfy does not allow anyone to use our services for the purpose of sending spam. We refuse business from known spammers. If a Houfy member (anyone using a Houfy account) uses our services to send spam, that member’s account will be voided. As a further step, we require that each email message sent through Houfy includes an easy way for recipients to remove themselves via an unsubscribe link. If a recipient calls our offices and requests to be manually removed from a customer's list, we will manually unsubscribe delete the recipient from the member’s account.

In all cases, we require that email messages sent through Houfy meet with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended. As a courtesy to our members, we have set out some guidelines below that show some (but not all) of the minimum standards our members must meet. It is up to our members to ensure that their emails are fully compliant.

The CAN-SPAM Act discriminates between two kinds of emails: Commercial and Transactional. Commercial emails are subject to stricter standards than those considered to be Transactional.

Commercial email is that where the primary purpose "is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service". Examples of Commercial email include those emails sent to an address list purchased by the sender. At a minimum, requirements for a CAN-SPAM compliant Commercial email include:

Transactional email is that where the intent is to "facilitate, complete, or confirm a commercial transaction that the recipient has previously agreed to enter into with the sender". 

Examples of Transactional emails are newsletters that the recipient signed up to receive; however, to the extent that any such email seeks to advertise or promote a brand, a company or product or service, it may also be primarily Commercial in purpose, and therefore subject to the more stringent Commercial email standards. 

Another example of a Transactional email is a "welcome" message to a new customer where the sender is following up on a business relationship. 

Requirements for a CAN-SPAM compliant Transactional email are:

We recommend to our members that if they are in doubt about which category their email falls into, then they should err on the side of the email being deemed Commercial, and fulfill those requirements.

Examples of Email Messages that Should Not Be Transmitted Through Houfy:

Houfy may determine at its sole discretion whether a member is spamming. There are a number of factors Houfy uses to determine whether a member is spamming, including, but not limited to: complaints sent to abuse report addresses, SpamCop reports, complaints sent to any of Houfy's upstream providers, and evaluating a customer's mass e-mail statistics and recipient addresses. Decisions made by Houfy personnel regarding a member’s use of Houfy are final.

There are three ways by which a Houfy member may violate this Anti-Spam policy:
