    So Are You Getting "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT:" Emails Yet?

    lol, I love that new law.

    I still get a shitload of spam, but a good portion of it is now using "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT" in the subject which makes it very easy to filter and identify.

          I guarantee you'll start to see it soon. All my sponsors have been sending me emails regarding this new change in their mailer policies. Most smart mailers are obeying these new laws because if not, their account becomes very easy to term for breaking TOS.

            really? Me neither. To me, "spam" is just the word "Maps" spelled backwards

                I would imagine most email providers r just going to filter it before it reaches anyones inbox...

                      haven't gotten one clearly marked SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT yet... i guess all the people sending me spam didn't get their emails from topbucks, ce, etc.

                                    That would really suck if the large isp's would start blocking them on the server level. I could see them facing lawsuits with people who have legit double opt in lists and can't get through

                                        it's a USA law so I would think no, but better check with your sponsors.

                                            Yup I've had the sexually-explicit: spams for a good 4-5 days now.
                                            ..and I'm off.

                                                  I liked this: "This offer was sent to you on behalf of: erupting pussy"
                                                  not only that, they both seemed to contain some secret coded messages at the bottom..
                                                  I think that's an attempt to evade bayesian based spam filters by trying to out-weigh commonly high-ranked spam related keywords
                                                  e.g (marketing/refinancing/etc) with non spam related keywords, when checking the body of the text the filter would pick very few spam words in comparison to the junk words in the bottom, and perhaps give it a lower ranking as spam (doesn't work very well)

                                                      I don't get a lot of ADULT spam to begin with.. it's all pre-made logos and shit like that.

                                                        wow, today i woke up and checked my email. there were no "Sexually Explicit" emails - but there was also almost no porn spam.

                                                        and that is when i realized that porn spam is no more than 10% of my email. mortgages, valium, big penis, and all the rest are still coming like normal - and they're most of it. damn!

                                                          What I haven't figured out is this:

                                                          if I run double opt in (confirmed members only, real opt out, etc) mailing for free site members, would I have to put that in the subject line even if the client has asked for the mail?

                                                          I understand SPAM, but opt in mailers ain't spam, right?
