oh, that one. i guess that means the function will have to move offshore.
THAT'll sure teach those spammers a lesson.
Remember Paul ..the issue in most of these laws is to go after the company
offering the products, porn, whatever _via_ spam.
The spam in most cases is trying to induce you to buy something ..they have
to give out some site that collects a credit card or phone number for
contact or something that is clearly traceable. That the spam itself was
sent from a open relay in Pakistan makes no difference .. if the company
offering the stuff has a nexus in the US bank account etc it can be traced
and prosecuted.
