Restrictions on Selling Email Lists?
I have been fighting an unending battle with email spammers for far to long. I am not sure how my various emails got out so wide spread but the results are that I end up with well over 200 emails a day I end up having to sort through. God forbid I take a weekend off to relax because come Monday I will be pushing a thousand.
I have taken to blacklisting email addresses to try and take the edge off of the floods but given the time it take to blacklist the emails (a whole 2 seconds longer than it takes to just delete them) I have not black listed them all. But I noticed earlier today that the blacklisted email list has already past 15,000 in the last year.
I am wondering if there are any implications on me selling this list to off set the cost of the sheer wasted time it takes me to combat this flood on a daily basis.

This seems akin to being paid for reporting a crime in progress to 911. Some might be tempted to fabricate addresses just to grow the list and their revenue.
There are government agencies where you can report scam emails, for the benefit of all:
Realistically professional spammers use countless email addresses, your filtering may catch more cases if you targeted the domain name part of links within the message.
