Basically, I opted out before, but I started getting it again. I'm assuming they pull email addresses from the ARS List whether we signed up or not, and even if we opt out, when they harvest the email addresses here again, it apparently overwrites the opt out. That is where the violation takes place, in my opinion. Obviously, lawyers and such would be required to determine that for sure in court. However, it seems obvious to me that they are violating the opt out portion of the law.

Same here. I wonder if they know that they are violating the CAN-SPAM Act. Perhaps we should find out who is behind it, as they can be fined $11,000 for each individual email they send out. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Luksha, Timothy Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 7:40 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: BMC Elite? ** Is anyone else receiving weekly unsolicited email updates from BMC elite? I ignored their initial invitation but continue to get these mailings. I don't want to opt out and alert them that there is a human associated with this address. Dore anyone know if the site is legit and will actually remove me from their mailing list? Their marketing tactics seem pretty unprofessional so maybe just adding them to a junk mail filter is more appropriate...
