CAN-SPAM Compliance Checker

Every commercial email must include a clear, conspicuous mechanism to opt out of future messages. The unsubscribe link must be easy to find and use — no hidden links or multi-step processes.

Your email must contain a valid physical postal address. This can be a current street address, a PO Box registered with the US Postal Service, or a private mailbox registered with a commercial mail receiving agency.

The subject line must not be deceptive or misleading about the content of the message. It should give the recipient a reasonable indication of what the email contains.

The "From," "To," "Reply-To," and routing information must accurately identify the person or business who sent the message. Forging header information is a violation of CAN-SPAM.

If your message is an ad, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that. There's flexibility in how to do this, but recipients should be able to identify the message as an advertisement.

You must honor opt-out requests within 10 business days. You cannot charge a fee, require additional personal information, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single web page to opt out.
