			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some important changes to the CAN-SPAM act that are effective as of May 12, 2008.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic">In a multiple-advertiser email, a single advertiser can assume the role of sole &#8220;CAN-SPAM sender.&#8221; The Final Rule issued by the Federal Trade Commission establishes that, when there are multiple advertisers in single email, a single advertiser can assume the role of sole CAN-SPAM sender if (a) the advertiser meets the requirements of &#8220;sender,&#8221; as defined under the CAN-SPAM act of 2003, (b) is the only advertiser identified in the &#8220;from&#8221; line, and (c) complies with all of the other original sender requirements imposed by the Act, including the requirements surrounding a &#8220;valid physical postal address.&#8221;<br />
Senders must provide recipients with an easy, unburdened way to unsubscribe from a commercial email. Specifically, the Federal Trade Commission requires advertisers to allow consumers to opt out of subsequent commercial email messages from that advertiser without requiring payment, information beyond the consumer&#8217;s email address, &#8220;or any other obligation as a condition for accepting or honoring a recipient&#8217;s opt-out request,&#8221; including requiring a consumer to visit more than a single Internet Web page.<br />
&#8220;Person&#8221; will be defined, for purposes of CAN-SPAM, as an individual, group, unincorporated association, limited or general partnership, corporation, or other business entity.<br />
A &#8220;valid physical postal address&#8221; has been defined as &#8220;the sender&#8217;s current street address, a Post Office box the sender has accurately registered with the United States Postal Service, or a private mailbox the sender has accurately registered with a commercial mail receiving agency that is established pursuant to United States Postal Service regulations.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>In a nutshell, all the places that are using preferences pages to manage your subscriptions need to redo their processes.  This is going to be huge for places such as online newspapers.</p>
