IANAL but fairly certain that's transactional, not a commercial message

  NAL either, but is it truly transactional if the apparent sender is a donotreply?
  • eli 9y ago
    I don't see why the value of the Reply-To address would affect that.

      Because you can also unsubscribe by replying "unsubscribe if there is no link. Part of CAN-SPAM.
      • eli 9y ago
        CAN-SPAM likely doesn't apply to the message in the first place, but even if it did it does not specifically require that you can unsubscribe by replying. That's just an example of one method they can provide.
        • somid3 9y ago
          True. I was testing. They provide no method to unsubscribe.

      Transaction would seem to imply a two way communication. trans·ac·tion an exchange or interaction between people.
    • xxr 9y ago
      I think you're correct--someone else in the comments pasted the FTC's definition of "transactional," and the transaction in question may be an already initiated commercial transaction, not an interactive transaction between two parties on email like I had thought.

    Don't most transactional emails come from a noreply@? Things like "you bought a ticket" or "your package has shipped" or "we'd love your feedback on your recent purchase" are all transactional emails typically sent by robots.
