Antispam registries aren't official

While the [b]Federal Trade Commission[/b] investigates setting up a national do-not-spam registry, new private sites are claiming to keep users spam-free now, but they lack the force of law.

[blockquote]The recently enacted CAN-SPAM law exhorts the FTC to consider the feasibility of a national, government-sponsored do-not-spam registry similar to its recent Do Not Call Registry restricting telephone solicitations. Last week the agency issued a formal request for information to vendors interested in helping create a national do-not-spam registry. The FTC will present a summary of its research to lawmakers in mid-June.
