I think that the burden should be placed entirely on the spammer; there is no reason to bother the user or the ISP with this mess. The current US law (USC Title 47 Sec 227) governing commercial telecommunications should be strengthened to explicitly include email.
Then all the spammers just migrate across the border. I already get spam from Canada and Europe.
Out of curiosity, has anyone considered the effect of this law (or others) on non-profit spam?
Or has anyone considered the effect of this law on spammers outside of the United States? -- Phil Howard KA9WGN +-------------------------------------------------------+ Linux Consultant | Linux installation, configuration, administration, | Milepost Services | monitoring, maintenance, and diagnostic services. | phil at milepost.com +-------------------------------------------------------+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
