Who knows if we will ever get meaningful laws to deal with this. What I do is have several email accounts. I have a personal email account with a domain I host that I give to friends or trusted companies. This one gets little to no spam.
I then have a couple of Hotmail accounts that I use for giving to a company for example for software I want to evaluate. Sometimes they need to send you a key so I use it for that purpose. This email address I could care less if they spam the crap out of. It collects about 200 spam messages per week. I just go in there every now and then and just delete everything in the inbox without opening the contents of any of the messages.
This technique has worked well for me the last couple of years. Be careful even giving your email address to friends. They might sign you up for something you don't want as a joke not realizing or caring about the ramifications.
Well looky, someone who has taken the time on how to prevent spam, use his computer, and gets the point. If there are two of us here that can do it, so can the rest of the world.
Once again, there is no reason what so ever to spend more government manhours and money to stop spam from getting sent to idiots. -- Abit VP-6 twin 800EB's @ 1002 Mhz.Proud member of the XDC.
