Electronic Mail (unsolicited bulk email law)

Iowa's anti-spam law targets bulk commercial email senders who forge or falsify routing and header information, and people who sell software built to do so. It carries criminal penalties that rise with volume, lets injured email providers and recipients sue for statutory damages, and treats violations as consumer fraud enforceable by the Attorney General. Much of state spam regulation is preempted by the federal CAN-SPAM Act, except for falsity and deception rules like this one.
