If a spammer is abusing a remote SMTP relay to mail bomb domains at IT Company, IT Company will immediately block the IP of the SMTP relay that the spammer is abusing. IT Company also subscribes to multiple RBL's (real-time blocking lists) to automatically block known open SMTP relays and known spamming relays. While this policy dramatically reduces the amount of spam sent to IT Company, this may inadvertently block some legitimate email.

Notice

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act [COPPA] requires web sites to obtain verifiable parental consent if they collect age identifying information or a birth date from a child under the age of 13. If the Company does not wish to obtain verifiable parental consent, it must bump-out any user that indicates an age under 13.
To correct this issue please do the following:
The Company has three options for dealing with the collection of age identifying information:

Option 1:

Do not collect age identifying information. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act [COPPA] does not require general audience Web sites to screen the age of its users.
If the Company must collect age identifying information, the user must be given the opportunity to input their correct age, in essence, to "tell the truth".

Option2:

Implement an under age 13 bump-out mechanism. If a user indicates they are under the age of 13, then the Web site needs to bump that user to an error page informing the user that the Web site is not able to accept their registration at this time. The bump-out message needs to be generic (i.e. "sorry we are not able to accept your registration at this time") and cannot indicate that age is a factor of registration. Also the registration form itself cannot indicate that age is factor of registration (i.e. "you must be at least 13 to register").

Option3:

If the Company must inform the user that age is a factor of registration (i.e. "you must be at least 13 to register") within the error message, then a session cookie needs to be set to prevent the user from going back and changing their age.
For more information around TRUSTe's requirements around the collection of age identifying information for general audience Web sites, please review TRUSTe's Complying with COPPA Guidelines for General Audience Web Sites at http://www.truste.org/docs/How_to_Comply_with_COPPA.doc.
NOTE:
IT Company reserves the right to revise its policies at any time.
