It’s easy – Here is what you need to know:

* The subject line cannot mislead the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message.
* It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method and you must honor the requests. Via an internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask you not to send future email messages, you must include the option to end any commercial messages from the sender.
* You have 10 business days to stop sending email to the requestor’s email address.
