Many Opt-Out web pages fail in processing (invalid operation). Problem must be fixed within 24 hours. Every e-mail subject to the Can Spam Act must have a valid "Reply To" address to report any of the above named problem and/or to request removal. All of the following subject lines should be considered a valid request for removed (a blank subject), the word "remove" as the subject and the word "unsubscribe" as the subject. The "Reply to" address must be kept valid for 7 days from the when date and time the e-mail being addressed was released from the original e-mail server for delivery.
