case.

However, according to ABCNews, the sentence is being delayed while
Jaynes appeals the court’s ruling. The article goes on to say:

Judge Thomas Horne said that because the law targeting bulk e-mail
distribution is new and raises constitutional questions, it was
appropriate to defer the prison time until appeals courts rule.

Jaynes, who was convicted in November, was found guilty of send
massive amounts of spam, which offered bogus products. One such
product was a non-existent “FedEx refund processor.”
