[AusNOG] More spamming scum.

I've had a bad weekend, and a crappy start to the day, so this might be 
considered "lashing out" or "irrational anger"....

but how the hell do we expect anyone to take us seriously as an industry, 
saying we don't tollerate spammers, or spamming, and that we try to do 
what we can to prevent it...

when we get some lowlife scum from (allegedly) within our own industry who 
partake of it??


Just received spam claiming to be from

    Steve Brady
    Director
    Internet Now Pty Ltd

It's come through to an address which I monitor, but which is not, and 
never has been, in an industry that would have asked for or given 
permission to receive mail from this company or for the products they're 
offerin.

It is therefore unsolicited, it is clearly COMMERCIAL mail, and that makes 
it UCE - AKA SPAM. From an Australian source, with NO prior "business 
relationship".


Headers certainly indicate domestic origin.

Anyone else got it?
Anyone got any ideas what we (as an industry) can do to weed out some of 
it? I mean, I can understand spam for viagra etc, and from international 
sources who don't know (or care) about our laws, but those in our own 
industry doing it?? C'mon.....
