A Washington appeals court <A HREF="http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5253775.html?tag=zdnn.alert">has upheld a ruling</A> that found an Oregon man had violated the state's antispam law. A three-judge panel voted unanimously on Monday to reject an appeal by defendant Jason Heckel, who claimed his mass emailing practices did not violate Washington state law. In 2002, a judge found Heckel in violation of the state's Commercial Electronic Mail Act and imposed an injunction and fine as penalties.
