S.877 on spam
Hi
I am new to APSense so I wanted to pass along some information I found when I was accused of spamming. I was told that there was a law, but no one told me were to find this law. So I did some research and found this in May of 2007. I hope it helps keep others out of the can

CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-187, S. 877)
The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act requires unsolicited commercial e-mail messages to be
labeled (though not by a standard method) and to include opt-out instructions and the sender's physical address. It prohibits the use
of deceptive subject lines and false headers in such messages. The FTC is authorized (but not required) to establish a "do-not-email"
registry. State laws that require labels on unsolicited commercial e-mail or prohibit such messages entirely are pre-empted, although
provisions merely addressing falsity and deception would remain in place. The CAN-SPAM Act took effect on January 1, 2004.
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 was introduced by Senators Conrad R. Burns (R-MT) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) in April 2003, with minor
changes from the previous year's version, S. 630 (2002). Two other bills (S. 1231 and S. 1293) were subsequently merged into it. The
final version was approved by the Senate in November 2003 and by the House of Representatives in December 2003, and was signed
into law by President Bush on December 16, 2003.
