No Do Not Spam Registry

Posted by Krista

Since the Do Not Call registry went into effect, there’s been talk of a Do Not Email registry that would follow in its footsteps to eliminate spam. However, today the FTC rejected that idea. The commission chairman noted the following today.

“A national registry was a great solution to unwanted telemarketing calls,” said Timothy Muris, the chairman of the commission at a news conference today. “At this time it’s not the solution to unwanted e-mail.”

One potential problem to spam is focus on an authentication system that can determine whether an email actually came from a false address. Bill Gates had mentioned some type of email postage system earlier in the year.
