Anyone have a clear understanding of what it means for our biz? I am too lazy to read the entire bill he signed.

It means stick in an "ADV" in the header, a legit optout link and mention a legal post box address, and everyone and their grandmother can now legally spam.

the difference now is that hosts and upstream providers will be more willing to allow you to accept email traffic if you are a sponsor and it will be easier to find facilities from which to send if you are a mailer.
of course this means that the value of each email you send goes down because not only will many corporations and isp's will block at the source all ADV emails... however i'd be willing to bet that mailers would much prefer a decrease in the value of their emails as opposed to paying 10-20-30-50k a month to greedy providers in order to have 2000 ip's that they hop between while trying to dodge block lists. i think also that one of the ripple effects is that block lists will either become good guys or bad guys. some will still do silly things like block all of verio because of a few customers who are spamming and breaking the rules... but those blocklists who do that will stop being used by admin's as blocklists that effectively spot block and only block isp's who are allowing mailers to mail who break the rules, run proxy mailres etc..etc.. i'm stoked about the rule, because now basically all the state laws are invalidated/un-prosecutable because states are not allowed to limit interstate commerce from my understanding, and this new law provides a federal and overriding set of laws. my 2 cents.

I think when it's all said and done a lot of lawmakers are gonna go "Oh shit, what have I done?"

Just another way for the politicians to make it appear to the public that they have the ability to control the Net. And we all know the reality of that.

There will be abuse from ISPs and RBLs though. I think ISPs will block ADVs but then get a Direct Marketing Association lawsuit that it goes against the federal law. The same with RBLs who all tend to have god complexes. |

It might affect us; but will have little or no effect on the volume of spam. It can't affect the spammers outside of the US; and you have to opt-out to get rid of a spammer...
