Too much intrusion of junk mail of the nasty kind has lead Michigan to get more aggressive in blocking unwanted emails.
Michigan and Utah have until Friday to create and operate registries of e-mail addresses similar to “do-not-call” lists. Businesses will have to buy copies of the registries and face prison time and fines if they send e-mail to any addresses that parents submit. The registries also can include instant-message addresses, cell phones and pager numbers.
