All commercial e-mail must clearly indicate that it is an advertisement, and must also contain opt-out mechanisms as well as information about the sender's physical location. The law also bans the practice of harvesting e-mail addresses from Web sites and hacking into computers to disguise the actual source of a mailing. Offenses are punishable by a prison sentence of up to three years.
