A new study of spam shows that only an average of 3% of unsolicited commercial e-mail complied with the new federal anti-spam act, over the last month.
The law, Can Spam, went into effect Jan. 1.
The study was conducted by MX Logic Inc., which sells e-mail security systems. The firm examined a random sample of 10,000 unsolicited commercial e-mails each week over four weeks ending Feb. 6.
“Three percent is a negligible increase in Can Spam compliance compared to the less than 1% compliance rate we found during the first week of January, said Scott Chasin, chief technology officer at MX Logic.
