Can anyone send you unsolicited email which is NOT SPAM?
Unsolicited means that you did NOT ask for it, so as such there is nothing to stop people asking you if you are interested in their product or service BUT the fact you did NOT ask them first makes their approach SPAM.
They may well approach you in the guise of respectability, saying as such " here, I know you did not ask me, but I think it is something you would be interested in" is
We spend about half of our life time at work. That’s why choosing the job and the working environment is so important to us. Almost every single person is expecting the company to be loyal and trustworthy. Organization is interested in motivating its employees as it helps to increase the company’s productivity.Discretionary benefits and benefits required by law can stimulate some confusion in many of us. To appreciate the discretionary benefits offered by companies, like JMFE, we have to differentiate between both. Legally required benefits are programs est
We also include some legitimate mailers to whom you have (at some time) requested to be added to a mailing list such as an ezine or newsletter, where the sign off process is less than ideal, but designed to keep you subscribed.
Examples suggest the sender has some LEGAL RIGHT to spam you!!!!!
Example 1
Anti-SPAM Policy Disclaimer: Under Bill s.1618 Title III passed by the 105th U. S. Congress, mail cannot be considered Spam as long as we include contact information and a remove link for removal from our mailing list. If this e-mail is unsolicited, please accept our apologies and click on the following removal link: mailto:pete@000link.com?subject=Remove-Exchange or reply back with REMOVE in the SUBJECT with this email address.
If this email came unrequested it is SPAM no matter how the spammer may try and justify it. Whilst the link is to a valid domain such a request may well just confirm your email as valid, which the firm can then use to send more spam. If the removal system is valid then it only works if the reply comes from the same email as used to send to.
To be legal the remove instruction should specifically include the email which the email was sent TO or a link to some file reference or other form of entry.
In all cases a confirmation of removal should be made if indeed a clear sign of or opt-out feature exists. Some such removal emails are invalid and just bounce, others do not generate any form of reply.
? why should you take the time to ask to be removed, chances are this is a one-off email anyhow.
Example 2

The suggestion is the recipient subscribed to this spam newsletter (selling car leasing) which they did NOT
Clicking the above link takes you to an unsubscribe box where you could replace your email with the one shown, but since all emails were sent TO "undisclosed recipients" we assume this is a way of collecting NEW emails for future spamming.
If this example was an ethical company it would have a VALID email clearly shown as BOTH the recipient and sign off link, clicking the link would sign off the subscriber and email a confirmation as well as onscreen.

A successful business strategy is often defined by a good advertising and marketing plan. Look around. Any venture that lacks the proper come-on to customers is almost always doomed to fail.Take a start-up Web design company, for instance. If its proprietors do not make the business known to prospective clients by placing ads on the Internet or by informing the local neighborhood of their services, they will mostly likely get only one or two orders a month, majority of which will be from relatives and close friends who are really left with no choice but to hel

There are certain parts of producing a podcast that many podcast producers absolutely hate. After mixing and editing an audio file then encoding it into an MP3 format, many podcast producers dislike the administrative parts that come with publishing and promoting their podcast.This is called podcast administration and this is an area that many podcasters would love to farm out to someone else. A virtual assistant is in an ideal position to learn what these tasks are, and then offer podcast administration as an additional service.You don't need to be tec

What makes some blogs more successful than others? Here are seven strategies that will contribute to every blog's success. What's Your Niche?When people start to blog, they often have little idea what they're going to say today and less idea what they'll be talking about in five years' time. That doesn't matter much at the beginning, but if you're going to stick to blogging, you need to find something you enjoy writing about and can stay current on. Something that's a big part of your life will make a good blogging niche. For me, that's

If you were like me – total ignorance on fire - when I started my business from home, then this story might sound familiar. I did what the leaders did to pave the way, and they were getting the results that I wanted so I did what they did. I placed $1,000’s on newspaper classifieds. Spent three grand PLUS on a fancy lead capture splash page. I purchased THOUSANDS of leads to "keep in flow" only to discover that those lead generation companies resell and resell so all you are doing is calling people who have been contacted many times before, and frankly they don't eve
