Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What
is Spam, and why does Cyber Sentry not tolerate it?
Like most Internet
providers, Cyber Sentry strictly prohibits the sending or relaying of bulk or
otherwise unsolicited email, commonly known as spam. Spam is widely
regarded as the email equivalent of junk mail, but unlike regular junk mail,
spam places much more cost on the recipient than the sender with respect to
spent time and resources.
In the past,
typical spam content revolved around get-rich-quick schemes or other potentially
illegal or unethical content. Today, spam can take the form of just about any
kind of content. Many recipients consider spam to be not just a nuisance but
also an invasion of privacy or, depending on the content, an affront to their
social and moral values.
Spammers
(people who
distribute bulk email) know beforehand that their message will not be well
received by most recipients; therefore, they often employ tactics that make it
appear as though the message were originating from another source.
This anti-Spam service is a free service that you get automatically with Cyber Sentry.
