Campaign

CAN-SPAM Act of 2003

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) is a US federal law that establishes requirements for those who send commercial email. It establishes penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them.

CAPTCHA

A Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart is used to determine whether or not the user is a real person or a computer. People are asked to type in a series of distorted images to prove that they are not a machine, since an automated computer program cannot decipher the letters within an image.

Catch-all

Catch-all allows you to set up a default mailbox that "catches" all mail that is sent to your domain, but not to a specific account you have created. So, if I send an e-mail to joe@yourdomain.com, but joe doesn't have a POP3 mailbox or forwarder, that e-mail will go to the catch-all account. The catch-all account can be set up as either a physical POP3 mailbox, or forward mail to another mailbox. Catch-all accounts are well known spam traps so at this time we have disabled the use of catch-alls.

Challenge Response

An automated message triggered by the receipt of an email for the purpose of identifying the sender as a trusted & real source.

Marketers will often benchmark their current click through rate with past click through rates to determine whether campaigns are

These multiple levels provide security, ease of use, and flexibility for everyone from the server administrator to the email account user.
