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 lawmakers Wednesday promised to introduce legislation this year to attack the problem of spam, with proposals to create a national "do not e-mail" list and apply criminal penalties for repeat offenders.
UPDATE: President Bush signed the "Can-Spam" bill Tuesday, creating the first federal law regulating spam, a move backers say will be a major step in the war against e-mail solicitations for pornography, Viagra, diet pills, get-rich-quick schemes and the like.
Identity fraud is a bigger problem than generally acknowledged, with an estimated 10 million Americans becoming victims in the last year, according to a new Federal Trade Commission survey.
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.
