PlanningPlanet is committed to reducing and controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail messages, otherwise know as "spam" or "junk mail." Spam messages are a nuisance and intrusion of privacy that can clutter e-mail accounts to beyond use. Since nobody wants to receive unsolicited e-mail, PlanningPlanet is taking action to prevent spam messages from being sent in the first place. In order to succeed, however, PlanningPlanet needs your help. 

About Spam
Although PlanningPlanet prevents spam from being sent from the PlanningPlanet email system, it is impossible to control when a PlanningPlanet.com account is referenced as either a "drop box" or in a "spoofed" header. 

Spammers often rely on spoofed e-mail addresses and "drop box" strategies to send unsolicited messages and escape detection. This strategy consists of sending e-mail from an account that allows spam, but using an alternate address in the "Reply To" message header. This strategy makes it difficult to track the origins of a spam message and bring it to a stop. 

Spammers will often include a statement in the body of the message claiming that the law sanctions spam as long as there is a "remove from list" address in the spam e-mail. Unfortunately, this address is usually used as a means of confirming an e-mail account and will ultimately generate more spam for the recipient. Therefore, if you receive spam from a source that you do not recognize, do not reply to the message to request removal. 

Our Commitment
In order to fight spoofing and drop boxes, we are asking you to help by reporting any spam message to PlanningPlanet.com immediately by using the form linked to this page. When spam is reported, PlanningPlanet will investigate the origins of the message and take action. Any email account found to be a drop-box for spam messages will be canceled immediately. 

Regrettably, there is no complete solution to preventing spam messages. Although PlanningPlanet is committed to removing spam from its email system, there is no way to stop spammers from referencing PlanningPlanet.com email accounts. Therefore, it is crucial that we have your help. With your help, PlanningPlanet can track spammers and make PlanningPlanet email an inhospitable place for them. 

Action 
If you receive a spam message using PlanningPlanet.com email as a "drop box" or spoofing address, you should alert PlanningPlanet immediately. Please report these spammers by using our "Anti-Spam Mail Report Area". PlanningPlanet.com will investigate the account and take action.
