America's first convicted felony spammer may finally be on his way to
prison.

The Virginia Court of Appeals Tuesday upheld the November 2004
conviction of Jeremy Jaynes, who was charged with three counts of using
deceptive routing information in sending bulk commercial e-mail.

Although prosecutors sought a 15-year jail term for Jaynes, a Loudon
County, Va., jury sentenced him to nine years in prison. Virginia
Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne allowed Jaynes to remain free on a $1
million bond until his appeal could be heard.

According to the evidence presented at the trial, Jaynes, 32, grossed
more than $24 million in various e-mail scams.
