SUMMARY
=======
This article describes how to stop receiving promotions sponsored by MSN, The
Microsoft Network, through e-mail.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When you join MSN, you can indicate whether you want to receive e-mail about new
products, services, and discounts available only to MSN members from Microsoft
and other featured companies. If you indicated that you would like to receive
this type of e-mail when you joined MSN, you can remove your name from the
mailing list by following these steps:
1. Connect to MSN, and then access the following Web site:
http://memberservices.msn.com/feedback/optout.asp.
2. On the Communication Preferences Web page, click the "I do not wish to
receive any unsolicited mail" check box to select it.
3. Click Submit.
These instructions apply only to e-mail sent by MSN. Just as the Postal Service
cannot control every message sent through surface mail, MSN does not have
control over e-mail sent through the Internet from outside of MSN. MSN does not
provide your e-mail address to people who send "junk" e-mail. Instead, e-mail
addresses can be collected from a variety of sources, including chat rooms,
bulletin boards, and newsgroups. If you receive unsolicited e-mail, reply to the
senders and ask them to remove your name from their mailing list. In addition,
there are a number of Web pages that focus on the reduction of "junk" e-mail on
the Internet. Use one of the Internet search engines to locate these Web pages.
Sending unsolicited, commercially-oriented e-mail messages to MSN members is a
violation of the MSN Membership Agreement. If you receive this kind of e-mail
from an MSN member, please notify MSN Member Services.
To report unsolicited or commercially-oriented e-mail messages to MSN Member
Services, use the appropriate steps for your version of MSN:
