My personal reply came through this afternoon. I append it below. If
enough of us complain, this fraudster will be taken off the air.

Dear David,

I am writing in response to your e-mail regarding your receipt of 
'Unsolicited Commercial E-mail' (UCE) or 'spam'. Please be aware that 
Telstra takes the issue of 'UCE' very seriously and is concerned to stop 
its spread via the Internet.

Telstra is a telecommunications carrier and as such a large quantity of 
traffic is transmitted over our network to the Internet. Unfortunately
some 
of the traffic will be 'UCE'. If it is shown that this traffic
originates 
from the Telstra network, action will be taken to cease this
transmission. 
 Due to regulatory guidelines we are unable to censor the traffic that
does 
not originate in the Telstra network.

I appreciate you do not wish to receive unsolicited e-mails and thank
you 
for bringing the incident to our attention. Once again I wish to
reiterate 
that Telstra will do all in its power to stop unsolicited transmissions 
originating from within its network.


Yours Sincerely
Perry Bate
Customer Service Information Consultant
