Yes, these types of marketing campaigns should have to comply with the Act, and each person who forwards the message to another person should be considered as having initiated such a message. As long as the Fwd: person does it on a regular bases and or does it to more than 50 people. ---------- 4. Who should be required to provide an "opt-out" mechanism for such a message? Each person who forwards the message to another person and the sender ----------------- Section 5(a)(5)(A)(iii) requires the disclosure of "a valid physical postal address of the sender" in each commercial electronic mail message. They should have to get a Spam license with a photo ID and address of the building were they live and finger prints. The license number and a certificate inter net number should be on all emil and email sent from tier web site. I do believe Yahoo has started the idea in motion to screen out all anonymous email. ---------------- Subject lines must have clear wording that lets you know what they are selling and a license number to ID them. The ID should be usable in a national report them web page. To either do a complaint or to praise them.
