Sentence in Spam Case

LEESBURG, Va., April 8 (AP) - A North Carolina man convicted in the nation's first felony prosecution for spamming was sentenced on Friday to nine years in prison, but the judge postponed the sentence while the case is appealed.

A jury recommended the nine-year prison term after convicting Jeremy Jaynes of sending at least 10 million e-mail messages a day with the help of 16 high-speed lines.

Mr. Jaynes, 30, of Raleigh, N.C., will be free on $1 million bond until the appeals process concludes.

Mr. Jaynes was convicted in November for using false Internet addresses to send mass e-mail ads through a server in Virginia. Under Virginia law, sending unsolicited bulk e-mail itself is not a crime unless senders mask their identities.

Out on $1 mil bond! Adios, Mr. Jaynes.
