Enforcement Solutions
The UCC is a leading source for reporting spam and promoting email continuity. We help identify the origin of unwanted email and report it to the applicable Internet service providers. By reporting spam, you are taking the necessary steps to regaining complete control of your email inbox. Reporting unsolicited email also helps feed spam filtering systems as well as other controlling agencies and authorities.
Reporting SPAM
UCC processes reported email spam by notifying the ISP responsible for hosting the services used by the spammer (web sites and email sending sites). Unfortunately, sending of illegal spam email is a constant ongoing battle. Spammers adapt quickly and persistently. By you reporting spam and assisting the UCC is the first step in taking back control and improving the reliability of your email.

What is SPAM & the CAN SPAM Act of 2003
Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, television advertising and file sharing network spam. E-mail spam, known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted e-mail messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients.
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. Despite its name, the CAN-SPAM Act doesn't apply just to bulk email. It covers all commercial messages, which the law defines as any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service, including email that promotes content on commercial websites. The law makes no exception for business-to-business email. That means all email for example, a message to former customers announcing a new product line must comply with the law.
