Virginia yesterday enacted some of the toughest anti-spam legislation on the books anywhere. If a commercial bulk e-mailer sends e-mail to or from Virginia with a bogus return address, or if a spammer blasts 10,000 or more e-mail messages in a day, he or she could end up facing felony penalties, paying massive fines and spending up to five years in the slammer. The new law would also empower officials to seize the assets of those convicted of sending deceptive bulk e-mail. Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D) signed the new legislation at the Dulles-based headquarters of AOL, which has joined Microsoft, Yahoo and others in its own anti-spam crusade. AOL vice chairman Ted Leonsis said the tougher legislation was "high noon for junk mailers," according to the area's Loudoun Times-Mirror newspaper.
