I had a CAN-SPAM compliant dinner last night

If you’re working in the email space, everything is “CAN-SPAM complaint”. But does it make any sense to say that “I had a CAN-SPAM compliant dinner last night”?

No? I didn’t think so either.

But, what makes an email database “CAN-SPAM complaint”? You see, I came across a press release wherein the company purports to offer “more than 50 additional healthcare marketing databases. All email databases are CAN/SPAM compliant.”

So, what, exactly makes a database “CAN-SPAM complaint”?

I suspect that it means that all of the addresses were gained from some other method than scraping websites.
