Frankly, we hate spammers.

MetaRegister firmly supports legislation and industry initiatives designed to curtail the unwarranted and illegal activities of any individual or organization engaging unsolicited commercial email (UCE), commonly referred to as "SPAM".

We see legislation as one of the tools necessary in the fight to end spam. Technology, industry self-regulation and consumer education all play an important role in helping curb this growing problem.

MetaRegister allows companies to capture and process customer product-registration information, and, where applicable, permission-based information voluntarily provided by consumers including email addresses. We strongly advocate the Direct Marketing Association's (www.the-dma.org) four pillars of responsible email marketing:

• Honest subject lines
• Accurate header information that has not been forged
• A physical street address for consumer redress
• An opt-out mechanism that truly works and is honored

MetaRegister continues to work towards developing new and innovative ways to help prevent spam and enrich electronic customer communications.
