Mind you, about 90% of the spam I receive comes from the USA so I'm not sure what good it would have done had they voted the other way. Many (most?) of this junk e-mail includes a statement that under some Bill or other it is not classed as spam. Obviously the US legislators use a different definition of spam/junk e-mail to those of us in the real world. There is also another law being proposed by the EU which would make the local caching of Web pages by ISP's effectively illegal (something related to copyright IIRC). > > Net users are required to register with national opt-out lists if they do > > not wish to receive junk email. > > ----- End forwarded message ----- > > -- > See complete headers for address, home page and phone numbers > finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
