Opting Out - Something that maybe can reduce spam mail

[Donald Duck]

This seems to be okay in my eyes, and has also been featured on the radio and in the press.

I have registered to "opt out".

An extract from their website.......

==============

The "Opt Out Register" www.facilities.co.za/dcm was launched on 19 March 2007 and to date around 25 000 consumers have registered online to have their details removed from mailing lists used by marketers to promote goods and services. "The "Don't Contact Me" list - previously known as the Mail Preference Service (MPS) – serves the sole purpose of removing your name and address from prospect mailing lists. According to proposed law, any company embarking on a direct marketing campaign will be required to run their list against the Opt Out register and ensure that any names on the DMA register are deleted off their database. Although you will see a reduction in the unsolicited direct mail you receive, not all commercial mail will stop. For example you may continue to receive mail from companies with which you already do business with – for example a banking institution - where you have provided consent for them to market to you. In addition, you may continue to receive mail addressed to the "resident/occupant" since the mail is not personalized. To register, click on the 'Do not contact' icon and then complete the necessary fields. Of vital importance is the submission of your ID number to ensure that all your details are removed.
