The Federal Communications Commission on Monday published a list of domain names to which telemarketers may not send unwanted commercial e-mail and text messages.

Cell phone companies submitted the domain names to the FCC. The list, available on FCC's Web site,  is the result of anti-spam legislation that President Bush signed in 2003 to address the explosion of unwanted e-mail messages. Under the law, senders of unwanted e-mail could be fined up to $11,000 per violation.
