I'v also been hit, but I'm also on Digilife and WAMUG, so not sure
which. Not a great way to get my custom, anyway, especially by telling

email, looks like spam, smells like spam, annoys me like spam..
You and me both Jude!
It's one sure way NOT to get my custom.
I emailed them asking "I would like to know where you got my email
address from please."
I'm not expecting a reply.
Perhaps everyone who has received this Spam email, should reply asking
the same question, perhaps they would then get the message "We are not
Happy"!

Of course if you've been a customer of them in the past and they
consider you to have a 'strong business relationship' with them and
you haven't opted out of this then it's probably not considered spam
as there's inferred consent:

There doesn't seem to be a time limit on how old this relationship is
of course... Also not sure what happens if the list is sold off as
part of a company's assets...
If they'd harvested the WAMUG list then of course that would be
another matter, but without proof...
Otherwise, complaints and enquires can be lodged with ACMA:
