In article <63CD2031-701D-4567-B88A-2986E8B3F359@beckman.org> you write:

This might be a good time to review 15 USC 7704(b)(1), which is titled
"Address harvesting and dictionary attacks".
>And the requirement to not send you UCE to harvested emails
>is pointless, because how do you prove that someone did that?
This is law, not software. If a bunch of people who went to a trade
show get spam to the addresses they used when they registered, well,
duh.
