No Spam - Anti Spam Policy


		Unsolicited electronic mail advertisements are not accepted here.
ExpertsAvenue Anti Spam Policy:

Per section 17538.45 of the United States Business and Professions code, we may set a policy regarding unsolicited electronic mail advertisements. Violations of this policy will result in damages of $25 000 per mail message or actual damage, whichever is greater. This site's policy is: Unsolicited electronic mail advertisements are not accepted here.

It is the policy of ExpertsAvenue to fight spam in any way available, including but not limited to: Posting, forwarding and publicly displaying the spam, sending copies to any and all postmasters involved, sending copies to any and all persons listed as administrative, technical, and billing contact according to the current WHOIS database for the offending site(s), sending copies to upstream providers, blocking individual known spammers and blocking entire offending domains.
	Fraudulent and/or deceptive e-mail will be forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission for investigation and possible legal action.
	Unauthorized Bulk Emails that seem potentially illegal are reported to the FBI, to the attorney general of any state that the message claims as its origin, and to the local police.
	UBE (Unauthorized Bulk Email) is reported to your ISP and the email provider ( e.g. abuse@yahoo.com )
Spam is unsolicited e-mail (or news postings) pushing a point. Be it an ad for a used PC, or an urge to vote on a proposition; if you didn't ask for it, didn't sign up on a mailing list related to it, and didn't leave your e-mail address on a web form asking for more information on it, it's spam! And if it's in your mailbox, the sender might be liable for a $5000 fine per instance. Some of those laws have been up held in court. UBE (Unauthorized Bulk Email) We don't believe a single word in it, least of all any unsubscription information it contains. No spammer has ever been seen removing an address from their list. If we try to unsubscribe using the opt-out address, the best that can happen is nothing. LART stands for Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool, with a luser of course being somebody who is at the same time a user and a loser. In the context of spam, applying LART on a user (a spammer in this case) usually means exercising the ISP's acceptable usage agreement. Most ISPs do not allow their users to send unsolicited bulk email. Violating that policy usually means discontinuation of service, and that's what larting a user means. Spammers will consequently lose their Internet access and pay for their breaking an ISP's acceptable use policy. Most ISP's takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) or SPAM over the network. Violation of ISP's SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of the SPAM policy, most ISP's will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, ISP's may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of the SPAM policy, ISP's may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer's account. Further, most ISP's reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. ISPs will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.

ExpertsAvenue Spamkiller Applications

Spamkiller Application 1: Once in a while unsolicited "spiders" (aka robots or crawlers) will travel this web site and follow all links on all pages. If a page contains an email address, the spiders add it to their database, thereby making this user part of a huge email address collection. These collections will then be sold and/or used for sending unsolicited spam emails. This is where killspam steps in. It generates pages with bogus email addresses (mostly .com and .net, but all others, too). Lots of bogus addresses will render email collections useless. Also, most spammers use "relay" email servers. These servers allow anonymous users to send emails. With lots of bogus addresses webmasters of relay email servers will receive lots of bounces which will encourage them to switch relaying off. No relaying, no spam. Killspam outputs 2-6 links back to itself which means that each time a spider reads the page it will add another 2-6 links to killspam to its URL database. That way it will waste quite some time at your web site just for the purpose of grabbing lots of junk email addresses.
Theoretically, a spider could travel your web site for ever. All subsequent killspam executions will output email addresses only. The spider will therefore add 5 times 2-6 links to killspam to its database (=7776 executions at most). So it could (theoretically) grab up to 77766=46656 bogus addresses. Spamkiller is a wonderful tool to give email spammers a hard time. Pls install it at Your web site. Click Here*

Yes, bogus email addresses will cause additional spam traffic. We believe that this is a reasonable price for fighting spam. The more postmasters turn relaying off, the more difficult it gets for spammers to find a spam email server. And selling email databases will get more difficult, too. No-one will spend money for an email database with lots of fake addresses.

Spamkiller Application 3: ( Meta Tags ) Bogus Email addresses using Meta Tags <meta http-equiv="reply-to" content="killspam-application-robots@expertsavenue.com">
Enjoy fighting spam!
