Just because something is legaly permissable doesn't mean it can't be contractually prohibited.

Trade secrets, for one thing, couldn't exist otherwise.

One thing we can do is complain, create form letters , attach the offending spam and send them to the FTC, your congress critters, and the sender.  This can be at least partially automated.

The DMA doesn't publish its email address, but their industry news site (www.dmnews.com) does, so they could be added to the list.

If you only do it when you get spam, its free speech, not a mail bomb.
