  So, the new season of Chuck has started. The one thing I've noticed in the music this season. Lots of Huey Lewis and the News.
  
  I approve.
- Dog Bites Man: IAB Suggests You Follow the Law #
  The IAB has issued its Email Data Management Best Practices document and suggests that you only send mail to people who have agreed to receive mail from you.
  
  They also appear to have started drinking a bit of Kool-Aidetm and are recommending that you share your suppression files with third parties, but that you encrypt the files using a MD5 hash.

  Looks like there is a satirical email mocking the economic bailout sent in the style of a 419 spam.

I had a CAN-SPAM compliant dinner last night

Professional, Technology

If you’re working in the email space, everything is “CAN-SPAM complaint”. But does it make any sense to say that “I had a CAN-SPAM compliant dinner last night”?

No? I didn’t think so either.

But, what makes an email database “CAN-SPAM complaint”? You see, I came across a press release wherein the company purports to offer “more than 50 additional healthcare marketing databases. All email databases are CAN/SPAM compliant.”

So, what, exactly makes a database “CAN-SPAM complaint”?

I suspect that it means that all of the addresses were gained from some other method than scraping websites.
