HP Selects SmartSource for Suppression Database Management

BURLINGTON, MA – SmartSource announced the release of its CAN-SPAM Compliance Service and the selection of the service by Hewlett Packard for processing third party email lists for CAN-SPAM compliance.

 “SmartSource is pleased to introduce the first fully automated application for processing external lists against opt-out databases to guarantee compliance with CAN-SPAM regulations.” said Mike Curtin, President of SmartSource.
According to Curtin, Hewlett Packard has selected the SmartSource solution to address the need to process email lists that are sourced from third party vendors while protecting the security of both the suppression list and the mailing lists.

“The SmartSource service provides a fast turn-around (within minutes) for processing of lists, regardless of the source of the list” said Kip Ladd of HP, Email Suppression Program Manager – HP Internet and Marketing Services.  “HP is committed to CAN-SPAM compliant email marketing practices.  The SmartSource service allows our partners to securely process their lists against the HP suppression database and guarantee that all opt-out requests received by HP are honored by all of our partners.”

The key to the SmartSource solution is a centralized process for receiving email delivery lists from any source; processing those lists against the suppression database; and returning the lists.  Additional features include sending along an opt-out link to capture any opt-outs that result from subsequent mailings.
With this solution, email senders can implement a CAN-SPAM compliant system immediately with minimal impact on marketing procedures and systems.

SmartSource's Can-Spam Compliance Service includes:

• A hosted, CAN-SPAM compliant, opt-out database.
• Processing of submitted lists against the opt-out database.
• Turnaround processing in minutes for immediate retrieval.
• Optional insertion of a unique, secure opt-out link for all processed records.
• A hosted Web page for opt-out processing.
