How we deal with complaints

There are cases when we receive spam complaints against a sender even if he is not spamming. It is Instant365’s policy to respond to every complain we receive, just to make sure our customers feel safe with us. On the other hand, we also take care of the comfort of our senders. The steps we take when we receive a complaint are:

  • Contacts the Email Manager for the customer’s account with a Instant365 Abuse Inquiry. The inquiry is based on asking about the list source and other information available regarding the questioned email address. Failure to respond to the Abuse inquiry itself is a violation of our policies. The customer may not respond directly to the complainant without prior approval from Instant365’s Abuse staff.
  • The Instant365 Abuse team analyses the customer’s response and determines whether or not the customer is in compliance with this policy.
  • Instant365 will respond to the complainant, as long as the customer has been adhering to this policy. If the customer is found clean, we reassure him that his email address has been unsubscribed from future mailings.
  • If the customer finds violating this policy, the customer will receive a spam determination response from our Abuse team with specific information related to the violation.
