<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Good morning everyone</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Further to the emails of last week regarding junk emails - I have now had a response back from my IT co-ordinator regarding an email address we can send our grievances to. Here is part of her reply to me:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Since I couldn't immediately find the address to contact re spam emails etc. I went back to Edumail Online. </FONT><A HREF="https://www.edumail.vic.gov.au/edumailonline/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">https://www.edumail.vic.gov.au/edumailonline/</FONT></U></A><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have cut and pasted from that page:</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">--------</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">What should I do if I receive threatening or abusive email? <BR>
The transmitting of unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, and racially discriminatory emails are against the departments Acceptable User Policy for Internet, Email and other Electronic Communications.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">If you are the receiver of such emails it is imperative that you forward the whole email to </FONT><A HREF="mailto:abuse@edumail.vic.gov.au"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">abuse@edumail.vic.gov.au</FONT></U></A>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Once the email is received, investigation will commence and appropriate actions will be taken in accordance with the department’s policies and the laws which govern the state of Victoria.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">-----</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I don't know that the 'junk' everyone's receiving is covered by the above, but I know I am getting about 10 a day - at the moment lots of software offers with 'What IS 0EM Software And Why D0 You Care?' in the subject line, but also 1 or 2 chinese ones, a couple of Viagra, p? enlargement ones, and the odd 'you have won the lottery' ones for good measure.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">It's interesting to note that I think I've only been receiving all the software ones since the beginning of February - but I don't recall having given out my email address to any ICT related firms - so where have they got my address from? <BR>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hope this helps.</FONT>
