WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives stood poised on Friday to outlaw most Internet spam and create a "do-not-spam" registry for those who do not wish to receive unsolicited junk e-mail.
In debate on the House floor, lawmakers from both parties praised a compromise bill that would set jail time and multimillion dollar fines for online marketers who flood e-mail inboxes with pornography and get-rich-quick schemes.
