Legal Question in Technology Law in Illinois

Re: email harassment

According to the FCC web site, the federal CAN-SPAM Act only applies to commercial messages, those for which the primary purpose is to advertise or promote a commercial product or service. I am unfamiliar with non-commercial anti-spam laws. Can you just go to your Internet provider's mail site and mark this sender as "spam," thereby blocking further messages from that sender?

THE ABOVE ADVICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY MATERIAL PRESENTED HEREIN, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT AN ATTORNEY. THIS INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDED BY AN ATTORNEY IN ACTIVE PRACTICE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND CURRENTLY HOLDS AN ACTIVE LAW LICENSE IN THAT STATE ONLY.
