Does anyone understand this CAN-SPAM law?

[bran987]

I've heard so much conflicting stuff

what are the rules now?

can you still buy databases of emails and mail to them?

regardless of whether it is effective or not, what are the rules now?

is the law enforced yet?

The law was basically nixed because they decided it'd be too easy to abuse by unscrupulous companies.

so that's it?

just wait for software companies to make better & better filters?

There's not one at this point...I believe there's a good filter than runs on Unix that HappyScrappy told me about, but I've since forgotten it.

The anonymity of the internet kinda prevents a true, enforceable solution.
