Story: MPs demand spam protection for businesses

It would be disastrous to prevent businesses writing to introduce their wares to other businesses. There is a perfectly reasonable need for you to be able to write to me to draw my attention to a service you provide which I might well buy if I knew about it.

Selling must not be driven off the email net and confined to snail mail and having salesmen knocking on doors.

What must be stopped is the snowstorm of persistent spam from the same few sources, often addressed to generic addresses like g_zxifxqwi@yahoo.com and FROM randomly generated sender names. These bulk generators are what must be legislated against -- not normal selling.
