where is the line drawn anyways? how do the blacklists know which are opt-in type newsletters and which are spam? as we all know anti-spammers sign up to these things just so they can get the emails and put the ips/domains on blocklists.
i don't care for telemarketers, my daily dose of pizza and wing advertisements in my mail box but its a part of life, just as people will have to get used to email advertisements as a part of life.

CAN-SPAM is a joke. Almost all spam sent before that law meet the requirements of the CAN-SPAM act. And no, they dont need to get used to it. Unlike the snail mailbox, where the spammer pays to send his spam, with telemarketers and spammers, they steal facilities and services you have paid for and convert them to thier own uses. I pay for a telephone line so I can talk to people I want to talk to, not so that life insurance sellers can reach me. Same with my e-mail facilities, they are not provided so that others have a place to deposit thier ads.
