MailUp Anti-SPAM Policy
This MailUp Anti-SPAM policy is an integral part of the Terms and conditions that You – as a company or individual using the MailUp service (the Service) – agree to abide by when using the Service.No SPAM
Spam is any commercial email sent without the recipient’s permission. Commercial email is defined as any electronic mail message whose primary purpose is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a product or service. The Service is intended to be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of sending messages to recipients who have agreed and confirmed to receive such messages from You. This is called Permission-based Email Marketing. No other commercial use is acceptable and permitted. Other, non-commercial use of the Service is permitted, such as the mailing of transactional messages to individual recipients with whom You have a relationship. Your account may be immediately suspended or terminated if You send SPAM. MailUp is fully committed to the suppression of SPAM. Consistently with this goal, MailUp – directly or through our partners and resellers – enforces a strict, no-tolerance policy against SPAM, beginning with a customer vetting process based on M3AAWG’s Best Practices and systematic monitoring of all account activity.
Monitoring and customer vetting
MailUp monitors Your use of the Service to ensure that it is in compliance with this Policy and may suspend or terminate Your account if You are in violation of it. This action will be taken with no legal injunction or notice, but many be followed by additional legal actions in order to exempt MailUp from any responsibility related to the misuse of the Service. For example, in the case of any violation of intellectual property laws or a third party’s intellectual property rights. In addition to monitoring the activity of current customers, We pre-qualify new users of the Service with the objective of building a community of selected users of first-class ranking. MailUp’s customer vetting process is based on M3AAWG’s Vetting Best Common Practices. We have no intention to acquire a new customer that intends to misuse the Service to send unsolicited messages, as this can hurt our network operations, our reputation and the reputation of other companies using the Service, and our relationships with ISPs and Blacklist managers. To this extent MailUp may take some time to approve Your account before you are allowed to use the Service, and it reserves the right to refuse to provide the Service to anyone.
Relationship with ISPs
Over the years We have built strong relationships with many of the world’s leading ISPs and Blacklists. With them We keep sharing information regarding policies, practices and potential issues. Any ISP, mail administrator or blacklist owner intending to assist us to provide a better service or to ask for our cooperation is very welcome to do so: please email us at abuse@mailup.com
Rule of conduct
You may never send SPAM by using the Service. Specifically, you may not:
- Harvest emails from web sites
- Purchase or rent lists (whether they are opt-in or not)
- Perform email appending
- Send messages that are unrelated to what subscribers signed up to receive from You
- Add an email address into a list without the subscriber’s permission
- Email someone who has requested to be removed from Your list
- Send messages that violate the CAN-SPAM Act
- Send a commercial message to a recipient who has double opted-in (or confirmed opted-in) to receive it
- Send a commercial message to a recipient who has single opted-in to receive it, although we strongly discourage the use of single opt-in, strongly encourage the use of double opt-in (confirmed opt-in), and may disallow the use of single opt-in email addresses in the future
- Send any other communication that has been specifically requested by those who receive it, or that is transactional in nature, such as a password reminder or an order confirmation.
Determining whether you send SPAM
To determine whether You have sent SPAM we will:- Review the content of the message in question.
- Review Your subscriber list for patterns common to harvested, purchased, or rented lists.
- Review any SPAM complaints. Monitor the complaint rate (number of complaints over successfully delivered messages): a rate above 0.1% (10 complaints for every 10,000 messages sent) is typically an indicator of an unsolicited message.
- Monitor the total number of complaints, regardless of the complaint rate: a high number of complaints can cause deliverability issues (even if the complaint rate is low due to high overall volumes), and therefore cannot be allowed.
- Review the subscription records to determine when the subscriber was subscribed and their IP address.
- Registration or appeance of one or more of the IP addresses from which your emails were sent, or of the second level domain (e.g. mail.YourCompany.com) associated with Your MailUp console, in one of the Relay Block Lists or international Blacklists. A list of such lists includes, but is not limited to: SPAMHAUS, SURBL, URIBL, SORBS, SPAMCOP.
- Blacklisting or relay block listing by an ISP (i.e. Godaddy.com, Register.com, etc.)
- A high rate of compliant, as defined above.
- A high rate of hard bounces.
- Only send e-mails to contacts that directly and willingly subscribed to receive such communications
- Never purchase or rent a list of contacts from a third party, under any circumstance
- Never append email addresses to an existing contact database: email addresses must always and only have explicitly being opted-in.
- Never send any messages to a publicly available list of contacts
- Never harvest contacts (e.g. e-mail addresses) on the Internet
No refunds
In the event that Your MailUp account is terminated due to violation of this Anti Spam Policy, You will not be refunded any amounts that have been paid towards the use of the Service.Reporting SPAM

Other information for message recipients
We encourage any subscriber to an e-mail list to always review the sender and subject line of an electronic mail and delete any unsolicited messages, without downloading the rest of the electronic mail’s content (You might need to turn Your “Preview” feature off to do this) in order to reduce the risks associated with downloading unsolicited electronic mail that may contain unsafe code or try to lure You into a phishing scam. We intend to protect the legitimate interests of recipients of e-mail messages with regard to unsolicited communications for direct marketing purposes. We support an opt-out register for such purpose, following the provisions of Article 7 of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the European market (Directive on electronic commerce).Return to Terms and conditions summary page.

Do you get a lot of spam from many different senders and not all messages include a MailUp logo? This might indicate that the sender illegally sold your data to one or more third parties. We recommend that you ask the sender to provide you with details on the origin of the data.Technical Information for Postmasters
- MAIL-FROM: The envelope-sender (Return-Path header) is unique to each MailUp user and can therefore be used to block a spammer. For any abuse, please report the incident to the abuse desk. See above under How to report an abuse.
| Customer A | Return-Path: customer001@bounce.musvc.com |
| Customer B | Return-Path: customer002@bounce.emailsp.net |
| Customer XYZ | Return-Path: customerXYZ@customerXYZ.com |
How can I block a MailUp user?
- Each MailUp user can be identified by their unique envelope-sender (MAIL-FROM, that is to say Return-Path: header). A MailUp user cannot change this address.
- By blocking the envelope-sender, you will block only the user that is sending SPAM, and not the other, legitimate users of the MailUp system.
