Depends where you are in the world. Many states over in the US currently have anti-spam laws in place, which a lot of spammers like to flaunt, and say they comply to them, stating invalid references to acts that don't exist. > Until not - all measures like filtering by ISP are illegal :-). Read your ISPs AUP. They provide a service to you, and expect you to follow some rules they setup, if they say sending UCE is against the policies, they can do whatever they like. Plus there have been numerous cases over here in the US where Spam itself isn't particularly illegal in one state, but a system administrator took a certain person to court for wasting his time having to deal with spam instead of his usual work. He won! ;) > Only thing is legal - filtering on receiver side- it is your mail and > you can do with it what you want. Most ISPs don't actually filter mail anyway, too much work for them to do. They may impose some basic filtering to stop some open relaying etc, but most don't filter spam... if they did, I wouldn't get quite as much spam as I do now ;) Another point would be that some people enjoy getting 'adult spam' purely for... well... if I have to explain that, I think this would be a useless point. If ISPs started blocking that kind of spam, a lot of people on subscribed adult lists may get a little upset. > P.S. As i know - you can not skip ads at the beginning of DVD film. > Or I am wrong.
