E-Mail User Protection Act

Summary

E-Mail User Protection Act - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to make it unlawful for any person to: (1) initiate the transmission of an unsolicited bulk electronic mail message that contains a false or misappropriated name of the sender, return address, or name and phone number of a telephone contact person; (2) initiate such a message to an interactive computer service with the knowledge that such message falsifies identifying information; (3) initiate such a message and fail to comply with the recipient's request to not receive such messages; or (4) use, create, sell, or distribute any computer software that is primarily designed to create false identifier information.
