NEW YORK U.S. Senators Conrad Burns (R-Mont.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced a bill Thursday that is designed to protect consumers from unsolicited commercial e-mails.

Under the bipartisan legislation, called the CAN-SPAM Act (“Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act), all unsolicited marketing e-mail would be required to have a valid return e-mail address so recipients could easily ask to be removed from mass e-mail lists. Once notified, marketers would be prohibited from sending any further messages to a consumer who has asked them to stop.
