There are several tips on how to send mass mail responsibly. You should make it a rule to se them when sending mass emails:

1. Use accurate subject line

   Keep subject lines simple and straightforward. When the recipient sees it he must understand what you offer him. Say directly what you want when sending mass email.

2. Use accurate headers

   Spammers often forge the headers on the emails they sent. This means they attempt to bypass any means you have of tracking down their true location and ISP.

3. Use your physical street address

   In order to make recipients trust your brand you must make them sure you are a real person or company, with real office and real staff, behind your message. Give them your physical street address in all correspondence.

   Most spammers simply use their Email address and don’t give out any kind of contact information such as telephone numbers or street addresses. If you provide them with this information, it lends so much more trust to your message and the company behind it.

4. Give consumers an ability to unsubscribe

   You’re not going to gain business by forcing someone to receive your messages. Give them the option to unsubscribe from your mailings and truly allow them to do so.

   Since most spammers devise a trick that makes people think they’re opting out when all it does is confirm there is a real live person on the other end of that email address, you should run a legitimate way to allow someone to discontinue receiving your messages.
