On Sunday I received seventeen copies of the appended "New Year Greetings" email from the Palmer United Party. I am happy to receive the occasional newsletter from my elected representatives, but Clive Palmer MP is not one of them.
I have forwarded all the messages to the ACMA Spam Intelligence Database: http://www.acma.gov.au/Citizen/Stay-protected/My-mobile-world/Dealing-with-mobile-spam/spam-complaints-reports-and-enquiries Any suggestions on how to stop this? There is an unsubscribe offer at the end of the message, but a posting to Whirlpool indicates that a request to be removed from the mailing list resulted in more email: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2148871&#r14 The Palmer United Party appears to use the IT company Alacrity Technology, based in Mitchell, ACT.
