Anti-SPAM Act is Scheduled to Take Effect on January 1, 2004
New USA Email Law
http://www.dailypress.com/business/natio...
by Deb Riechmann, Associated Press

Most charitable emails would not be affected by the bill since the FTC does not have jurisdiction over nonprofits. However, email from charities about programs, services or products of a commercial nature might be affected, depending on how the FTC interprets the bill. Unlike many state spam laws, the federal bill regulates all commercial e-mail, solicited and unsolicited. Many of its requirements are standard best practices, but e-mail marketers look to make some tweaks to comply with the law when it takes effect Jan. 1. The federal law requires commercial e-mailers to include truthful header information; provide an opt-out tool, either through an e-mail address or Internet-based form that works for 30 days after the mailing; process opt-out requests within 10 business days of receiving them; use accurate subject lines; put a physical postal address in all messages; and give "clear and conspicuous" notice that messages are ads.
