StreamSend to Email Marketers: Prepare for the Canadian Anti-Spam Law

Sacramento, CA, October 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- StreamSend, a leading email marketing software provider, is advising email marketers to prepare for FISA, the Canadian version of the CAN-SPAM Act, scheduled to become law by early 2011.

The Canadian government has introduced a new bill called the Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act (FISA) which creates a new set of rules for email marketing in Canada.

The new law will not only apply to people sending from Canada, but people sending to anyone in Canada -- and knowing exactly where all recipients on an email list reside is highly unlikely.

“Marketers who are already CAN-SPAM compliant and are closely following the best sending practices set forth by the ISPs will already be complying with the new law,” said Dan Forootan, president of StreamSend Email Marketing. “Fortunately, StreamSend automatically includes the proper unsubscribe mechanism and all necessary email headers to make mailings compliant. We also offer several permission-based opt-in methods, and display reminders for marketers to include their proper contact information.”

Email delivery services provider Return Path has provided a guide to FISA, offering advice for marketers and answering the following questions:
