If it truely is an unsolicited email (you didn't give authority to receive it - didn't "opt in" to their list) then they should be reported for violating the spam act (assuming they are australian based):

Report them.

(in our case it was sent to the booking office address), resulting in many of those businesses having clogged email boxes. When the attachment eventually opened it was an advert for Takahashi 'scopes.

I wish to email the Takahashi company and advise them of the behaviour of this agent. Pleae note: I have nothing at all against Takahashi, I simply want to teach this spammer a lesson.

Many thanks in advance,

Peter.
