There is a federal proposal that isnt that unreasonable, and would make it really easy to filter (if everyone complied, being an international network ...) you have to include instructions on unsubscribing (which has to work :) at the top of the letter you have to send it from a real email addr (that is yours :) you have to put 'ADV:' as the first 4 chars of the subject line, if adult in nature you have to add ADLT in there somewhere too that is pretty much it, I dont know what other sleepers or whatever is in that bill, but that part of it at least should be supported.. As for sueing people.. They can be somewhat hard to find if they move around, and without proper laws that make the seller responsible (and how can you do that without showing that they knew they were paying for spamming, and exactly who the spammer is etc - a malicious person could spam stuff from a company they dont like without their knowledge to get em in hot water, but that will prolly be rare).. That may be one of the reasons this didnt pass so quickly.. -- Bret McDanel http://www.rehost.com Realistic Technologies, Inc. 973-514-1144 These opinions are mine, and may not be the same as my employer
