An FTC attorney said the new rules should help computers that use anti-spam filters to weed out adult-oriented e-mail sent without permission.
Spammers fear FTC rules as much as terrorists fear court summonses.

Those who received spam that violates federal guidelines can forward it to uce@ftc.gov

Uh . . . could we get in trouble for doing that?

Great, now spam has even more vulgar subject lines. Nothing like encouraging them.
