Permission Based email requires the recipient's permission before the email is sent. Yunau advocates Permission Based email as the best way to balance the need to send information via email and the need to reduce the amount of SPAM (or do we want to say "unwanted email") that shows up in your customers email inboxes. These applications ensure that only customers who have given their permission will receive your email messages. This is important in today's online world. Without that permission your business can find itself fighting negative public opinion and Internet blockages.
