I think what M_M is asking here is not about "spam" but about bulk emails sent when the surfer specifically requested the email.

My answer for spam is no, someone shouldn't be allowed to sue.

But when it comes to double opt in sign ups being filtered, I'd have to say yes because the surfer gave permission.
he surfer gave permission.


There already are email newsletters having problems because of this. When most people surfing for porn sign up for their daily pictures using a hotmail or yahoo address and that the list owner can't get the mail sent to these folks, he stands to lose on some serious cash in the long run. It's only a matter of time before the shit hits the fan. I sure would hate my mailman decide of what mail I'm allowed or not allowed to get. I'm a grown man dammit and can decide that myself. The same should go for my email. I can filter it myself.

It's not all bulk mail that's spam.
