>I'm salivating over a new bill here in Utah that has passed the legislature and is waiting for the governor to sign, and he probably will, as he is extremely tech savy. The bill will require spammers to put in the subject of the email that it is an advertisement and a commercial solicitation. They must also have very clear instructions for removing your name from their email list...and those instructions must work. Penalties are up to $25,000 per incident. The way the bill is worded, any company in the US will have to follow these rules if sending spam to any Utah resident or company. I can't wait.

Craig;

I hope it works! We already have federal laws that "prevent Spam". Please excuse the laughter! :) If the "Spammer's" care to they can just move their server to another country. Well, let us hope passing another law will do something positive. Doing nothing is worse!

>>As many of us do, most of the times, when companies are spamming us, we try to find the removal options from the email we receive. Talk about this:
>>
>>One email I received mention to go to http://64.214.173.200/md1/cgi-local/remove/index.html for removal.
>>
>>Try it.
>>
>>From the email field, you can't CTRL+V to paste your email. They intercept the CTRL key.
>>
>>They intercept some of the email regulars characters such as @. So, if you try to enter @, which is present in all email, you can't because they reject that key.
>>
>>So, try to copy your email in memory, put the cursor in that field and use the browser menu Edit - Paste. That'll work. Now, try to send the form. Not found!
>>
>>This is the most ridiculous spam removal I ever seen.
