Unsolicited Electronic Mail Act of 1999The infestation of Spam/Junk E-Mail (unsolicited e-mail), takes your time in sorting/deleting, system/server resources and disk space. How to Fight this Infestation and also ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) what you can do and the steps they are taking to prevent spam/junk e-mail. Following is the Unsolicited Electronic Mail Act of 1999, which provides guideline requirements that e-mail marketers must follow if they want to get their messages into your inbox. The bill: -- Requires a valid return address and prohibits forged headers, the record of the computers an e-mail traversed to get to its destination. -- Requires spammers to honor ``take me off your list'' requests. -- Lets Internet service providers declare their domains ``spam-free'' zones. For example, America Online could say that it will not accept unsolicited commercial e-mail aimed at its readers, and spammers would have to stay away or face civil penalties. -- Lets Internet service providers accept payment to allow spam to enter their domains, but if they do so, they must have some kind of opt-out mechanism that lets their customers avoid spam. -- Lets recipients of spam sue spammers. The bill requires that Internet service providers protect their customers from spam if the ISP profits from allowing spam into their system. ISPs also have the right to sue spammers for $500 per message if they violate the carriers acceptable use policy. -- Gives the Federal Trade Commission authority to enforce the law and pursue violators.
