The trouble you will be in if you are reported as an email spammer

Its easy to avoid it - just dont do it. If you neglect this advice because it is so easy to do then think about the repercussion if things did not get in your way.

Spamming especially email has become a huge global nuisance that there are strict laws created to curb it. Even the free Web emails provider have to adhere to the laws strictly for if they don't they will get themselves into trouble themselves. Not forgetting their users will change to other service providers who can 'care' for them.

Before we go to what will happen lets talk about what can happen first.

For someone complain that you sent a spam email, he or she can simply click a button to report the matter to the service provider. Since it is free, it won't take a long time or much consideration on the service providers part to send you to the gallows (literally).

It depend on service providers too. The strict ones would immiditiately take action when they have the slightest clue that you are in fact a spammer even without much investigation.

For example, after looking at an email which without doubt is an affiliate marketing email indicating that it originate from your email account (regardless if the affiliate link is yours or someone else), they would without question delete your account without even notifying you. It is because you are free user so you can't say anything much to make your defense.

Now what are the repercussions ?

The repercussion is rather straight forward. You simply cannot access your email anymore. Your account had simply vanished and does not exist anymore. Since it is a free account, you open another one or you try another free service provider. No big deal.

But if you are serious enough of finding out what's wrong. You may write an email (from another email account of course) asking what happened to your account. Now the email service provider may answer your query or they may not. It will get you into anxieties which will reflect in even things that have no relation to emails or internet.

Problem is, what if you are not at fault, someone filed a wrong complaint or it was forwarded by someone else. Perhaps the one that report you a spammer did ask for the information and they simply forgot about it and it end up with you in trouble.

There is no answer to those. because there are way to much cases on email spamming that the relevant people has become so increasingly immune on complaints that it is just not fair to the average law abiding internet user.
