Anti-Spam Policy
Some MLS, Inc. and VIHN.net products include email hosting services. Use of such email hosting accounts and services prohibits the spamming and unethical marketing activities, including, but not limited to:
 

1. Manipulating identifiers, such as email headers, to disguise the origin of any content transmitted to or through our computer systems. Your email's "From," "To," and routing information – including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person who initiated the email.

2. Using or causing to be used our computer systems to facilitate the transmission of unsolicited or unauthorized material. This includes any promotional materials, URLs, "junk mail," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of unauthorized solicitation that you may upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available.

3. The subject line cannot mislead or deceive the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message.

4. Any marketing- or sales-based email sent to multiple recipients must give recipients an opt-out method. You must provide a return email address or another Internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask you not to send future email messages to that email address, and you must honor the requests.

Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your commercial email.
