Answer to Question 1

E-mail headers and routing information, including the originating domain name and e-mail address, must be accurate and must identify the person who sent the e-mail. The use of deceptive e-mail headers is considered fraudulent and is viewed as a criminal offense.

Answer to Question 2

Legal solutions to the spam problem have achieved only limited success in reducing spam because it is expensive for governments to prosecute spammers. To become cost effective, prosecutors must be able to identify spammers easily (to reduce the cost of bringing an action against them) and must have a greater likelihood of winning the cases they file (or must see a greater social benefit to winning).
The best way to make spammers easier to find has been to make technical changes in the e-mail transport mechanism in the Internets infrastructure.
