No. It just took away the right to sue under certain state laws that make explicit reference to commercial email. Actions are still possible under other sorts of laws. > I'd like to write to this marketing company and have them provide me > with absolute proof that I signed up for *anything* at all.

CAN-SPAM specifically requires an Internet-based opt-out mechanism that takes effect within 10 days and remains usable for 30 days after the email containing it was sent. (Expect to see a lot more spam with the date set 30 days in the past.) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
