• Dear Friend:   President Bush on Tuesday, signed the first federal law against spam known as the CAN SPAM act. The law will go into effect on New Years Day. This law pre-empts all state laws including the stringent California law. The law carries jail time for certain types of violations. In short, this is serious legislation that should decrease the flow of unwanted email flooding our inboxes. It is the responsibility of all marketers like Apondo Networks and you to know and fully understand this legislation. For the complete text of this law see: Can-Spam-Act-2003 How this law will be enforced outside the United States remains a mystery to us.  Existing & Emerging Spam Laws worldwide wield stiff penalties....including up to 5 years of imprisonment and hefty financial penalties.  We at Apondo Networks will abide by these new laws to the best of our abilities. As our valued customer we urge you to take the following steps to help serve you better:   A good spam-control product should define actions to be taken, depending on which rules were tripped, such as: 1. Non-accept 2. Return to sender 3. Forward a copy to the sender and ask for verification 4. Quarantine 5.
