McWalter.org :: Email

LEGAL NOTICE

1. to grant the recepient (mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net maintainers and their associates or employees) a permanent, irrevocable licence to print, publish, or otherwise disseminate, in whole or in part, in any medium, electronic or otherwise, such email communications.

   Informally, this means that if you send me an email, by doing this you're allowing me to post it, including your name and email address, on my website or anywhere else. Generally I'll respect your privacy if you ask me to, but I reserve the right to publish your mail if we feel its content warrants this. If you don't like this policy then don't send an email.

2. to send only non-commercial communications directly related to this website or its contents. Any other communication is prohibited by law, under the terms of The Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) (Direct Marketing) Regulations 1998 [Statutory Instrument 1998 No. 3170]. All emails to these addresses will be transmitted on a public telephone line and received by a facsimile device, and as such constitute unsoliticited calls defined by statute. This notice constitutes explicit prior notice to the sender that such calls must not be made. By sending unsolicited commercial communications (whether these communications constitute solicitations of trade or not) you consent to pay a per-item storage and handling fee of 500 (five hundred) dollars US, payable within 28 days of the initial transmission of said email item.

   Informally, this means that if you send me commercial email that you can't prove I asked you to send, you're agreeing to pay me 500 US dollars for each and every such email.

NOTICE TO BULK E-MAILERS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES Pursuant to US Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II, p. 227, any and all nonsolicited commercial E-Mail sent to any email address within the mcwalter.net and mcwalter.org domains, and any associated subdomains, is subject to a download and archival fee in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars US. E-Mailing denotes acceptance of these terms. Consider this official notification. Failure to abide by this will result in legal action.

"Spam" email from mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net

You may have received unsolicited email of a commercial nature that appears to eminate from my domains (mcwalter.org and mcwalter.net). While it may well appear that way, that's a misleading appearance. Spam emailers often (it seems now almost always) forge the "from" field of emails; it's trivial for them to make an email appear to come from anyone. I get a lot of spam that appears to come from myself.

No-one with access to this domain's email system uses it to send spam or other unsoliticed emails.

So please don't send me angry emails asking me to remove you from my mailing list - I don't have a mailing list, and I didn't send you any mail.

Informally, I'd strongly recommend you not reply to such spam emails - doing so only tells the spammers that they're sending to an address which is being read by a real person. They're very unlikely to take heed of your protests. Similarly, clicking those "please remove me from your list" links they put on their emails is generally a very bad idea.
