From the same article!

"The FTC said it would prefer the industry choose a standard, but said it
will step in and impose one if necessary. The trade commission is meeting
next month to discuss future steps."

Subject: [spf-discuss] Anti-spam article in the Baltimore Sun

From the article:
"One of the toughest state laws to fight spam and e-mail scams took effect
this month in Maryland, threatening fines of up to $25,000 and penalties of
as much as 10 years in jail. It's similar to the federal Can Spam Act that
took effect in January. But lacking a way to verify the sender, legal
remedies ring hollow, some experts say."

If they would allow third parties to catch the spammers and collect the
$25K, I bet it would help a lot.
