<a href='http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,10211967%255E421,00.html' target='_blank'>Aussie spam companies slowing down</a>

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> SEVERAL major spam email companies have stopped sending offensive unsolicited messages to Australians in the three months since tough new regulations were introduced.

    There was a law passes in Britain saying that British companies weren't allowed to send spam, which would be great if 99.99% of spam wasn't from America.
