Is it sufficient to include only your physical address in the footer of an email to comply with CAN-SPAM law?

To comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, including only your physical address in the footer of an email is not sufficient. The law stipulates several requirements that must be met for an email to be compliant. In addition to including a valid physical postal address, senders must also ensure that they provide a clear and conspicuous opt-out mechanism and honor unsubscribe requests promptly.

The act emphasizes transparency regarding the sender's identity and the communication itself, so it requires additional elements, such as accurate "From" information and a subject line that is not misleading. Thus, simply listing a physical address does not fulfill all legal requirements set forth by the CAN-SPAM Act, which is why a more comprehensive compliance approach is necessary.
