A triumvirate of influential advertising groups is pushing Congress to pass a federal spam law before the holidays, cautioning that without it, unwanted e-mail will hamper e-commerce.
The U.S. Congress on Monday gave final approval to the first federal law regulating spam, which President Bush has indicated he will sign before the end of the year.
The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday for a historic antispam bill, capping more than six years of failed congressional attempts to enact a federal law restricting unsolicited commercial e-mail.
Federal and state law enforcement agencies pledged to take an aggressive new approach to fighting spam: identifying "open relay" mail servers that serve as conduits for massive quantities of junk e-mail.
The U.S. is one step closer to enacting anti-spam laws following the unanimous endorsement of the CAN SPAM act by its senate.
