That first paragraph piqued my interest. So I investigated (I followed the
link they gave). The important part of that bill (S.771):
-----
(2) PLACEMENT-
(A) ADVERTISEMENT- The information specified in subparagraph (A) of
paragraph(3) shall appear as the first word of the subject line of
the electronic mail message without any prior text or symbol.
(B) OTHER INFORMATION- The information specified in subparagraph (B) of
that paragraph shall appear prominently in the body of the message.
(3) COVERED INFORMATION- The following information shall appear in an
electronic mail message under paragraph (1):
(A) The term `advertisement'.
-----
So they mention this bill and make it look legit, but they're not actually
in compliance because they don't start the subject with "advertisement".
I'm also curious about this bit of spam... It gives all this info despite
being spam. Isn't it a bit strange? I was getting the idea that maybe this
"vetring" group was being set up by someone. Perhaps the -questions or
freebsd.org admin should check up on this one.
