About This Site

This site was created to meet the need of those who are bothered by poor email etiquette, specifically when it comes to forwarded chain letters, urban myths, and bad jokes. The primary function of the site is to allow individuals to anonymously email someone who has sent them spam or forwards (also known as FWDs) a generic letter that politely asks the recipient to refrain from sending this type of email.

The recipient of this email is protected against abuse of StopForwarding.Com by a feature of the site that keeps the same email address from being used more than once every three months. To facilitate this feature, the email address is kept on record for 90 days before automatically being erased from our system. These email addresses will not be used for any other purpose other than as mentioned above.
