<p>Coalition of Internet Organizations to Help Consumers Fight Spam, Save Money</p>
<p>Companies and public interest groups to fight spam and promote<br />
responsible Internet marketing.</p>
<p>CHICAGO - ChooseYourMail.com, SAFEeps, the Coalition Against<br />
Unsolicited Commercial Email (CAUCE) and the Forum for Responsible<br />
Ethical Email [F.R.E.E.] have launched a new joint consumer<br />
assistance project enabling consumers to recycle their "spam" email<br />
into money-saving offers from online retail sponsors.</p>
<p>This unique coalition of leading anti-spam advocates and companies<br />
have joined forces behind the Spam Recycling Center [SRC] (located at<br />
<a href="http://www.spamrecycle.com" title="http://www.spamrecycle.com">http://www.spamrecycle.com</a>) in an effort to fight spam, raise public<br />
awareness, and promote responsible e-mail marketing practices.</p>
<p>The SRC allows Internet users to join the fight against spam by<br />
forwarding their unsolicited commercial email to the SRC where it<br />
will be cataloged and forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission and<br />
shared with filtering organizations for use in the development of<br />
better anti-spam software.</p>
<p>"It is clear that spam has hindered the growth of electronic<br />
commerce, but just saying spam is bad isnt enough. We have to<br />
mobilize the public and provide alternatives to the Internet retail<br />
community," said Ian Oxman, president of ChooseYourMail.com. "That is<br />
why we developed this program. We wanted to give Internet users a<br />
voice in the fight against spam and illustrate responsible Internet<br />
marketing techniques."</p>
<p>"It is through programs like this that companies and legislators will<br />
be educated about non-abusive ways to market on the Internet," said<br />
Scott Hazen Mueller, Chairman and founder of CAUCE.<br />
"ChooseYourMail.com and their Internet retail sponsors are proving<br />
that you dont need to spam in order to get your message out online."</p>
<p>Participation in the program is simple. After going to the Spam<br />
Recycling Center, netizens are given instructions on how to forward<br />
their spam and, if they choose, get the featured special offer from a<br />
retail sponsor. Users participating in the program are also given the<br />
opportunity to sign a petition asking Congress to restrict spam as<br />
well as read summaries of the current anti-spam legislation pending<br />
on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures.</p>
<p>While in the Spam Recycling Center, Internet users are also given the<br />
opportunity to have their e-mail address included on the SAFEeps<br />
"opt-out" database. The SAFEeps system from Phoenix, AZ-based<br />
American Computer Group [ACG] allows email marketers to purge their<br />
lists of individuals or organizations that do not wish to receive<br />
unsolicited commercial email. Both individual email addresses and<br />
entire domains can be added to the SAFEeps list. This database was<br />
designed for use by e-mail marketers to eliminate from their lists<br />
the addresses of those people who have chosen not to receive direct<br />
e-mail marketing.</p>
<p>"SafeEPS gives Internet users the opportunity to say no to<br />
unsolicited e-mail marketing, but that is just half of the equation,"<br />
said Rodney Joffe, President of ACG. "Marketers and advertisers must<br />
recognize that they have an obligation to the Internet users to be<br />
responsible in their methods. That is one of the goals of this<br />
recycling program, to raise the awareness of Internet marketers as to<br />
the proper way to conduct themselves on the net."</p>
