Just stumbled across this:

"Hypertouch alleges the defendants violated the Federal CAN-SPAM Act
of 2003 by sending Hypertouch and its customers unwanted and
unsolicited email advertisements for Bob Vila's 'Home Again
Newsletter'.
These junk messages were sent with fraudulent email headers and
without a valid physical address, the suit claims. Spamvertised
messages were allegedly sent to randomly generated and harvested
addresses, even to addresses that had been submitted through the
"opted-out" links of other spam messages."

P.S. I'm going to see David Marks at our local Woodcraft tomorrow!
Yay!

Huh? The ISPs that harbor spammers won't adopt a price structure
spammers cannot afford for the same reason they don't simply terminate
the spammers' accounts for spamming.

if true, it's what I would call a "good start"...next step will be to reign
in all the Boca Raton outfits that circumvent the law by routing through
China and/or Brazil.
MS suggestion yesterday about paying for E-mail might be the ultimate
solution...give me 100 or 200 or 1000 per month free then charge me after
that...No problem here. Spammers doing up to 1 million per "send" using
phony "sent from" addresses that they have harvested from innocent people
will certainly feel the pain.
