Adhering to anti-spam regulation
Working with Mailchimp campaigns, even on a trial account, requires strict adherence to anti-spam laws. You must ensure you comply with the US CAN-SPAM Act and your own regional anti-spam regulations. The essence of most regulations is that:
- Email recipients must subscribe to receive emails from your company.
- You clearly identify yourself.
- You make it easy for recipients to unsubscribe from your campaigns.

Every night, Mailchimp updates Sage CRM to remove unsubscribed recipients. The Opt out of E-Marketing checkbox on a Company, Lead, or Person record indicates whether the record has unsubscribed from a Mailchimp campaign.
