Can Spam Act of 2003
Are there any hosts out there that are willing to offer a reseller package that allows the client to offer WebHosting to Mailers that comply and abide by the Can Spam Act of 2003?
If you're not aware of the act, please view it here.

Money is money, qube.
If it's legal, then why not?

Now all of a sudden hosts will pickup clients doing "legal" bulk mailing, and the spam lists say "Hey, 123.45.67.89 is sending "spam" lets add him." A week later you find out you're on every list there is, and none of your legitimate clients can send real e-mail anywhere.
Just my opinion...I'm considering not allowing bulk mailers at all...legal or not.

Well, I'm sure if web hosts don't allow those to spam who are following the Can Spam Act will face legal consequences.
It would be like depriving someone of a right that they have, if they have the right to spam, then a backbone provider should allow it.
And if these spam lists cause a legal bulk mailer from sending it's mailings, then I'm sure they could claim some loss of business.
