		Mailing list administrators must provide a simple method for subscribers to terminate their subscriptions, and administrators should provide clear and effective instructions for unsubscribing from a mailing list.
		Mailing list administrators should make an "out of band" procedure (e.g., a means of contact by which messages may be sent for further correspondence via e-mail or telephone) available for those who wish to terminate their mailing list subscriptions but are unable or unwilling to follow standard automated procedures.
		Mailing list administrators must ensure that the impact of their mailings on the networks and hosts of others is minimized by proper list management procedures such as pruning of invalid or undeliverable addresses, or taking steps to ensure that mailings do not overwhelm less robust hosts or networks.

	The MAPS RBL+ in JANET (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		To prevent users of other networks from accidentally using the data without subscription, it is placed in a zone served only by JANET nameservers, and those nameservers are configured to service only lookup requests which come from within JANET.
		MAPS' integrity and the open and objective nature of this arrangement quickly earned widespread respect among mail managers worldwide, and many mail managers now choose to configure their networks or mail systems to refuse connections from listed addresses, with two quite different effects.
		Their own mail systems and services immediately become practically inaccessible to many bulk mailers, reducing the impact of UBE on those services; and this is a considerable

	Halfbakery: Distributed spam email filtering
		Of course, additional criteria can be used by mail servers and clients to identify spam -- for instance, the lack of a "to" address in the headers.
		Flooding of the spam submission system by spammers can be fought, and items can be automatically marked as spam if submitted by enough users.
		Compliance in mail clients makes more sense to me, because that allows users to choose whether or not to use the spam cancel service.

	Mail Abuse Prevention System Lists Exactis Mail Servers in Realtime Blackhole List; Exactis Files Lawsuit
		The decision to list Exactis' mail servers occurred after Exactis repudiated a previously negotiated agreement to implement measures which would have prevented unsolicited bulk and commercial email from being sent through Exactis' mail servers, as well as ensuring that addresses on Exactis' own mailing lists were fully verified.
		Exactis is not following through on their commitment, and as a result we feel that we have no other option in stemming the steady stream of unsolicited email flowing from their mail servers but to list them in our RBL database.

		REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS), the Redwood City based anti-spam organization, says that it will vigorously defend the law suit filed yesterday by online market research giant Harris Interactive Inc. Harris has sued Microsoft Corp., and America Online Inc.
		"MAPS has listed some of Harris Interactive's network resources because we have received complaints about their mailing practices, and they are not willing to provide meaningful assurances that Harris will protect the rights of consumers and network owners by confirming that the person to whom they are sending e-mail actually wants to receive that e-mail.
		RBL listings are always a last resort." About MAPS MAPS is a member-supported not-for-profit organization that engages in a variety of mail abuse prevention activities, including education, maintenance of databases, and management of complaints about electronic mail.

		MAPS is a self-appointed "member-supported organization" which purports to engage in "a variety of mail abuse prevention activities." Upon information and belief, the corporate defendants have entered into agreements with MAPS whereby MAPS is compensated for identifying alleged Internet mail abuse activities.
		The flholes prevent or restrict an entity such as Harris from communicating with the individuals or subscribers that provide Harris with the research data.
		As an ISP, Microsoft maintains the "Hotmail" system, a web-based electronic mail provider, which provides its subscribers with a connection to the Internet and a means of sending and receiving electronic mail.
