Their web site - http://www.iname.com looks legit and the following is their policy on spamming - WHAT IS YOUR ANTI-SPAMMING POLICY? Description: What is your Anti-Spamming Policy? Solution: iName offers a permanent, personalized and secure e-mail address as a valuable Internet service. Individuals and organizations who abuse the open Internet community and their e-mail service by selfishly sending out unsolicited communications are violating their Service Agreement and putting legitimate Internet services and commerce at risk. We therefore take a hard stance against the sending of unsolicited communications. Our policies prohibit the use of this e-mail service for the sending of unsolicited communications as stated in the Terms of Agreement and in the Acceptable Use Policy. Given the importance of this issue we ask for your help in STOPPING SPAMMING. Mission Statement We take a hard stance against spamming and the sending of unsolicited e-mail and investigate each occurrence. We believe this activity is harmful and disruptive to the Internet community. Reducing spamming activities is a high priority and as such we act fast if we determine that spamming has occurred. Summary of our goals with respect to spamming and unsolicited e-mail: 1. To investigate every occurrence of reported spamming and to protect users from being harassed by unsolicited e-mails. 2. Cut spammers off fast so they cannot benefit from our service. 3. Prosecute spammers when possible so that they do not continue with their behavior of sending unsolicited e-mails. Interfering with an Internet Service Provider is a Federal crime. It comes under the jurisdiction of both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Secret Service. The FBI has formed the Computer Crime Unit to track down and prosecute people who break the new laws relating to computer crime. 4. Maintain effective audit information to respond to issues regarding suspensions, terminations or legal proceedings.
