What is SPAM?
Spam is the unsolicited transmission of
bulk e-mail and/or the posting of off-topic
messages to Usenet newsgroups or other
Internet lists, instant messaging systems
and chat rooms. While Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. encourages members to share our program
with others, the company does not condone
any form of spamming. This includes:
- Unsolicited E-mail:
An e-mail message sent to anyone with
whom you do not have a personal or professional
relationship, or who has not specifically
requested information, is considered
spamming.
- Newsgroups/Message
Boards/Bulletin Boards: Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. anti-spamming policy expressly
forbids posting to sites not related
to business opportunities, and where
information about our program is banned
either by description or name. Misleading
messages sent or posted to potential
referrals are considered spamming. So
are messages or posts unrelated to discussion
topics from members
- Chat Room Solicitations:
Any and all solicitations posted in
chat rooms or through instant messaging
services are defined as spam.
- Opt-In Lists: Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. does not condone
the use of Opt-In Lists. This is for
your protection. The addresses on such
lists are often outdated, or may have
been compiled without permission. If
Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. learns a member
has used an Opt-In List, that member
will be terminated.
- Non-Internet Spam:
The distribution of printed materials
on private property or where otherwise
prohibited goes against Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. anti-spamming policy.
- Safeguard: Before posting
any Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. material
to a site or newsgroup, check its Terms
of Service or FAQ's for specific rules.
If you are not sure if these rules allow
you to share the message, check with:info@ADRCInc.org before posting any information about
our program.
DELETION POLICY

with spam.

to spam database (list available for
public viewing)
- Respond to the complaint.
- ADRC will terminate
your membership if you SPAM and make
you ineligible for any new membership.
THINGS A USER CAN DO TO PREVENT SPAM
Employ the following mechanisms to fight
spam:
- Install an SMTP server,
which prevents hackers from using our
service to relay spam messages to people.
- Have an outgoing address
limit to prevent spammers from using
our service to send messages out to
users. Limit addresses to 25 per message
and 100 addresses per day. Once this
sender reaches the address limit, s/he
receives an error message.
- Have an Address Blocking
feature that allows users the ability
to prevent unwanted e-mails by controlling
who can and cannot send the user e-mails.
The user can choose to receive mail
from addresses in their Address Book
and from addresses to whom they have
sent mail or the user can choose to
block specified addresses.
- Have a list of known
spammers that the user can opt to have
blocked. This option is part of our
Address Blocking feature.
- Users can send feedback
informing ADRC of known spammers which
we will add to our list. If a person
is reported as a spammer, we block their
account automatically. Actual deletion
happens after 30 days to guard against
an erroneous deletion.
SUMMARY
Spam is a critical issue impacting the
entire Internet and not just Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. and their partners. The
header information has been forged on
most of the spam you see with Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc.. The messages usually do
not originate from our mail service or
pass through it. In addition, Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. is not involved but are
victims of the spammer. Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. takes an aggressive approach in combating
spammers. In addition, Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. provides its users with controls
to block spammers. Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. is constantly looking to improve
our anti-spamming services. Spammers may
be subjected to state and federal penalties
and other legal consequences under applicable
law if they violate our anti-SPAM Policy.
That is the bottom line; SPAM cannot and
will not be tolerated. If you know of
someone who has violated our Anti-SPAM
Policy, please contact us at info@ADRCInc.org Please include a copy of the SPAM message
and a brief explanation. Spam complaints
that do not contain a copy of the SPAM
message received, or complaints that simply
state "Remove us from your lists" will
be returned with requests for a copy of
the e-mail about which the complaint is
being raised. This is not meant to be
rude or difficult. Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. needs this information to pursue
your complaint, and cannot do so without
it. Please help us end Internet spam.
