Not giving recipients an opt-out method
Not stating that the email is an advertisement and
Not including the sender's valid physical postal address
Any ideas on this?
It also lists that people have to have requested to receive your emails and the addresses not be harvested. However, it doesn't say what you need to prove they did in fact request your emails. It also doesn't state anything about buying a list.

My question is what is considered verification? I know what a lot of bandwidth providers want, but the government seems pretty vague on this.
