Anti-spam policy

What is spam?

In the context of electronic messaging, spam refers to unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, typically sent for a commercial purpose.

ahmedfarid.com has a zero-tolerance spam policy.

Automated spam filtering

ahmedfarid.com’s messaging systems automatically scan all incoming email [and other] messages, and filter-out messages that appear to be spam.

Problems with spam filtering

No message filtering system is 100% accurate, and from time to time legitimate messages will be filtered-out by ahmedfarid.com’s systems.

If you believe this has happened to a message you have sent, please advise the message recipient by another means.

You can reduce the risk of a message being caught by the spam filters by sending the message in plain text (i.e. no HTML), removing any attachments, and ensuring that your messages are scanned for malware before dispatch.

User spam

If ahmedfarid.com provides a facility that enables users to send [email messages / private messages] to others, such a facility may not be used by users of ahmedfarid.com to send unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, whether or not for a commercial purposes.
