What does it mean to “opt-out”?
Lets take the following example and then answer the first question. John Smith purchases a membership into an organization and therefore is added to the master email list as a previous relationship… for this instance we are not using double opt-ins (that would fix to much).
The master email list is then segmented into multiple different “sub lists” (ABC, XYZ, GHI, etc.) each with its own opt-out code. Mr. Smith is happy and getting emails (or is just not complaining).
The day comes and he opts-out of the sub list “XYZ”. What should happen to Mr. Smiths account?
Does the new CAN-SPAM enhancements add any new effect to this scenario?
