[AusNOG] Emails Lists - legal obligations [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Curtis Bayne]

Maybe you could give them backpacks with neuclear batteries and call them "spambusters".

Don't cross the streams!

Does the anti-spam team have guns and a special-ops group yet?  If not, why not?

Subject: [AusNOG] Emails Lists - legal obligations

We have a couple of clients that have mass email lists to their clients. Touch wood we haven’t had any spam complaints, but I guess its only a matter of time.
We are quite concerned about the implications they pose to us and what the legal obligation they have to conform to in order to send these mass emails out.
Does anyone have a link to where it states what is required or what is considered illegal distribution/SPAM ?
I once recall, they were required to have a Dual Opt in and a unsubscribe feature ?
Any help would be grateful.
