America Online won a $5.6 million award against a Minnesota man who sent billions of spam e-mails over the service in 2003 and whose case helped lead to legislation to control spam.
The Minnesota man, Christopher William Smith, 25, was ordered to pay $5.3 million, or $25,000 for every day he sent out spam e-mails, plus $287,059 for America Online's legal fees.
