Safe-mail.net's anti spam policy
Safe-mail.net servers now benefit from an automatic process that detects and removes spammers' accounts. However, like any automatic process, mistakes sometimes occur for which we are very sorry.
If your account has been affected by such a mistake, please contact our support team.
If you suspect that a Safe-mail.net account or e-mail address is being used by a spammer, please check here if it is already marked as such in Safe-mail.net.
If that e-mail address is not marked as a spammer's address, please forward an unedited copy of the following information to our support team for us to evaluate and take appropriate action per our Terms of Service.
Make sure to include:
If your report is missing any one of these items, it may take longer for our Mail Abuse Team to properly investigate and take appropriate action.

What is Spam
Spam is any message or posting, regardless of its content, that is sent to multiple recipients who have not specifically requested the mail. It can also be multiple postings of the same message to newsgroups or list servers that aren't related to the topic of the message. Other common terms for spam include UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) and UBE (Unsolicited Bulk Email).
The individuals who send spam are typically people who purchased or harvested a list of e-mail addresses. They send messages from numerous different addresses to all areas of the Web.

What should you NOT do with spam?
Never respond to unsolicited email/spam. To the individuals who send spam, one "hit" among thousands of mailings is enough to justify the practice.
Never respond to the spam email's instructions to reply with the word "remove." This is a ploy to get you to react to the e-mail and alerts the sender that your e-mail address is open and available to receive mail, which greatly increases its value. If you reply, your address may be placed on more lists, resulting in more spam.
Never click on a URL or web site address listed within a spam. This could alert the site to the validity of your e-mail address, potentially resulting in more spam.
Never sign up with sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists. Although some of these sites may be legitimate, more often than not, they are address collectors. The legitimate sites are ignored (or exploited) by the spammers; the address collection sites are owned by them. In both cases, your address is recorded and valued more highly because you have just identified that your address is active.
NEVER use the 'send to a friend' facility of a site which you are unfamiliar with. Your friend's email address might end up in a database which is subsequently acquired by spammers - not a helpful service to your friend.
