A commercial electronic mail is not unsolicited if the sender has a preexisting business or personal relationship with the recipient. The sender of a commercial electronic mail of this nature must still include in the electronic mail message the required disclosures set forth in subdivisions (a)(3) and (4) of this section and shall remove the recipient from future mailings if requested. A person who sends or causes to be sent an unsolicited commercial electronic mail or an unsolicited sexually explicit electronic mail through the intermediary of an electronic mail service provider located in the state or to an electronic mail address held by a resident of the state may not: Use a third party's Internet domain name in identifying the point of origin or in stating the transmission path of the electronic mail without the third party's consent; Misrepresent any information in identifying the point of origin or the transmission path of the electronic mail; or Fail to include in the electronic mail the information necessary to identify the point of origin of the electronic mail. If the recipient of an unsolicited commercial electronic mail or an unsolicited sexually explicit electronic mail notifies the sender that the recipient does not want to receive future commercial electronic mail or future sexually explicit electronic mail from the sender, the sender may not send that recipient a commercial electronic mail or a sexually explicit electronic mail either directly or through a subsidiary or affiliate. If a recipient has requested to be removed from future mailings, the sender may recontact the recipient if a preexisting business relationship has been reestablished or if the recipient has expressly requested to receive future mailings from the sender.
