Long spell for spammer

A North Carolina spammer probably won't be troubling your Inbox for quite some time, after a Virginia court sentenced him to nine years behind bars. In America's first felony case against spammers, Jeremy Jaynes - at the time of his arrest considered one of the world's top 10 spammers, grossing $US750,000 per month - had been found guilty of peddling pornography and sham products and services such as a "FedEx refund processor".

The defence is appealing the severity of the sentence.
