1.1 In the context of electronic messaging, “spam” means unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, typically sent for a commercial purpose.
1.2 We have a zero-tolerance spam policy.

3. Spam filtering issues
3.1 No message filtering system is 100% accurate, and from time to time legitimate messages will be filtered out by our systems.
3.2 If you believe that a legitimate message you have sent has been filtered out by our systems, please advise the message recipient by another means.
3.3 You can reduce the risk of a message being caught by the spam filters by:
(a) sending the message in plain text (instead of, or in addition to, HTML);
(b) removing any message attachments;
(c) avoiding the terminology and text styling typically used by spammers; and/or
(d) ensuring that your messages are scanned for malware before dispatch.
