18 Jul 2000 USA
The House of Representatives today passed a bill that would limit the use of unsolicited
e-mail advertising, more commonly known as "spam."
In a vote of 427 to 1, House lawmakers almost unanimously passed H.R. 3113, the Unsolicited Electronic Mail Act, which bans spam unless it includes a return e-mail address that recipients can use to opt out of
getting further unwanted messages.
