Mailing Lists: Our mass mailing rules also apply to mailing lists, list servs, or mailing services you may contract with.

Your own list servs in which customers have signed up for in the past, is a valid mailing list. If one of your members asks to be removed, please remove them as soon as feasibly possible. Internally created mailing lists are valid as long as your customers agree to receive the e-mail. Purchased mailing lists are generally a violation of the rules because you have not received authority from the recipient to send them an e-mail.
