Opt-In

Opt-In is a term used when someone is given the option of receiving bulk e-mail when they are registering to some sort of database system. This technique implies a number of practices that will ensure correct ways of managing e-mail marketing campaigns.

Opt-In E-mail Marketing

Domain Authentication

Weaknesses in the SMTP protocol have allowed spammers to remain anonymous by allowing them to "spoof" sender addresses. Domain authentication technologies would correct this and allow spammers to be identified.

Bounties

Spam bounties, or rewards leading to the arrest of spammers, have been considered by the US government. In 2004, Congress requested a report by The Federal Trade Commission which concluded that rewards between $100,000 and $250,000 would be necessary to make the program work.
