Please keep in mind:
Quitting Smoking may receive more complaints when resuming mailings after a long pause or when a number of other conditions are present. Members commonly receive huge amounts of UCE from other uncontrolled abusers and lodge complaints against anything in their inbox with the word "debt" or "credit" in it as we well understand. Members are afraid to click remove or are frustrated as we well understand. Members use auto filters to forward mail based on content and keywords to Spamcop.net. Quitting Smoking and it's partners are legitimate and we are here to stay. We provide sought after services for millions of paying customers and always look to them and our Internet Service Providers for guidance in matters of AUPs and "good business practices". Quitting Smoking .NET attempts to comply with all legislative and judicial orders. These orders will take precedence over the details stated in the policy above.
